Just a few random thoughts about this.
If this is a virus, as they so professionally put it, then when will the virus update be out so I can clean a system that was infected.
I do not know of many Admin's that would like to have their entire network infected with this *virus* reguardless of the RIAA's wishes. Im thinking more along the lines of K12 & College's; think of the number of problems this could rasie IF any of this is true. Last I heard creating a virus and then claiming owership of it, or braggin like a tool, is enough to get you tossed in the pokey.
Lastly, If I am following this correctly it infects the files, do you think that certain corporations will like the fact that another *corporation* is targeting their formats? Whould this not convince you to switch to another format that isnt targeted? Microsoft WMA comes to mind in this matter.

Running with that line of thinking the girl that I thought I 'loved' (addicted; whatever) will never have her ass kicked to the curb when I start not 'loving' her.
See when you put it in that context of something less 'silly' you have a perfect concept; just do what needs to be done.

If I was able to acutally support the artist, just covering the copying of a cd point, directly through a CD rather then pennies on the dollar I would be all for buying a CD of their work. But when the companies take all but a few cents it does not give me much drive to rush out and buy a CD. In the past 4 years I have only bought 10 CD's, and out of those 10 disc's 6 were replacements (Theft, and scratches). Beyond the CD's that I REALLY want to have I do not bother buying the rest of the crap out there, I do not even bother downloading the music, as stated, its crap. The only mp3's I have on my box are the ones of the disc's that I own or have made back-ups of.
Having the RIAA fight for the artist but upon collecting the money they do not then turn it over to the artist shows what they are after; not the best intrest of the artist but money.

I would actually enjoy replacing my CD collection, but actually not at all.
why look at finding the oldest systems you can?
I have a p2 300 system as our current file server, holding about 300+gb across all hd's, and have yet to have a problem with it. the cost for me was 50 bucks for a new case; got at a local computer expo.
am i missing something here?

Granted this is only for the backup, but I can not see this being worthwhile effort without having MASSIVE amounts of bandwidth to toss around.

Where X is the number of days it takes the RIAA to lay the smack down on the P2P system that is costing it a billion dollars a minute in lost money.
