Why wouldn't they have their own IP's? They'll probably use IP's in the private range. I can't remember exactly what that is (I'm not a network guy), but I know it looks like 192.x.x.x.
Don't you mean that they'll integrate the client with the next release of Windows?;)

ZicoKnows,
I believe that the point he was trying to make is that because Microsoft Lookout, I mean Outlook, is not open source; ILOVEYOU.TXT.vbs exploited security holes that could have been identified and fixed under an OSS model.
You must have poor hearing (not an untrained ear). Anyone should be able to discern the difference between an MP3 and CD Audio on a reasonable hi-fi stereo system. I can tell the difference over good Sony headphones (not the best in the world) attached to my SBLive (not the cleanest signal in the world).
Then again, maybe your stereo is Bose.:)

If Courtney Love has access to some pre-1982 R.E.M., I want a copy of it! I didn't know there was much of them pre-1982. 1982 is when Murmur was first released. The only album they had before that that I know of was Chronic Town which was released in 1981 (I think) and is now out of print.
Napster would truely be cool if it had some pre-1982 R.E.M.
By law Napster is not illegal. Perhaps the laws will change due to pressure from the RIAA, and as a result (or as a result of a court setting a precedent) Napster would become illegal.
Still, I can't believe how moronic company executives are. You should never discuss illegal activities through a medium as insecure as e-mail. They can be intercepted, or dredged up as in this case. Even Post-It notes are more secure: they can always be shreaded.
Thank you for proving my point. No one knows what the trojan was going to be used for, so it was merely scare tactics when it was 'reported' that it probably was being setup for a DDoS.
It was John Romero's head on a stake. At the beginning of the level the demonic voice is John Romero saying something to the effect of "to win the game, you have to kill me, the master" played backwards.

Someone was saying that they were disappointed in MP3.com for not continuing the cause that they have been pretending to support all this time. Michael R. is a fraud.

Filename? Wouldn't work well to begin with, but people would just avoid the filter by altering the spelling.
ID3 Title, Artist, Copyright Tags? Few people (such as myself) use the Copyright tag correctly when encoding the MP3. Few people populate the Title and Artist and they could alter the spelling if they did.
Algorithm? It wouldn't work because every encoder makes the same song look differently at the bit level do to different encoding methods, bitrates, bit-depth, resolution.
In other words, it'd be damn hard for Napster to filter the index. RIAA doesn't want Napster to "pull" the songs from their "site", they want Napster shutdown completely -- and to look like they won.

The bad thing about Gnutella is that the host computer of the files you're getting can get your IP address. So, let's say that you're out there grabbing Britney Spears songs via Gnutella. RIAA could easily setup a Gnutella host with all sorts of enticing files just so that they can IP numbers.
Guess what? Those Britney Spears MP3's came from RIAA's Gnutella host and you're busted! Not good.

My point was that they can't filter Prince's music out of the index without filtering out a lot of legitimate MP3's.
