The next version of AIM could include an option to block messages from users not on your buddy list with a warning level above a certain percentage, since any spammers would be at a high warning level after the first few victims got angry at them.
Then the spammers would have to continually register for accounts, not the victims.
I had an idea for an AI system that would learn a language by analyzing a dictionary file with things like definitions, synonyms, antonyms, etc. with a concept of nouns, verbs, and other grammatical things. This was a few years ago, so my complete idea is a little cloudy now. I never implemented it because I was pretty bad at file input/output, and that was important to the way that the program would have worked.

6000 songs is probably inaccurate. 3 people downloading over 3 days would have many duplicates between each other.
Also, each person probably downloaded many copies of one thing. I've done it myself. Incomplete files should not count either.
