I was excited to see some added stability to winamp so I gleefully downloaded Winamp5 and removed Winamp3. Now I cant load my bs4 playlists created in Winamp3. Whats the solution?
The geniuses at Winamp want me to reinstall winamp3?
What the Hell?
From their FAQ:
"What about my precious B4S playlists?
Those are currently not loadable. However, you can convert them in Winamp3 to M3U or PLS playlists.:)"
What I want to know is who are the guys running SCO's IT shop?
I mean either they are just totally out of luck for work or dont care that they are working for litigious bastards.
In the big world of slashdot readers somebody must know one of these guys(gals?).
Whats the story?
If we can pin down who they are maybe we can answer the question of: are the folks running the network/machines dumb or are they deliberately trying to get hit by DDOS and othe bad stuff.
I am baffled as to why i have yet to see this mentioned (maybe I have not looked around enough).
The only way to be able to say in court that a given user actually was making a certain file available to the public is for the RIAA to have downloaded the file themselves. (unless of course they were sniffing the traffic, but that would be illegal as well)
If they used kazaa to download from users to find out that they had an "illegal" file they would violate kazaa licence terms
"2 What You Can't Do Under This Licence" sub sections:
"2.11 Monitor traffic or make search requests in order to accumulate information about individual users;",
"2.12 "Stalk" or otherwise harass another;" and
"2.14 Collect or store personal data about other users."
If they somehow reverse engineered kazaa to make their own client and avoid the above licence stipulations they would have run afoul of:
"3.2 Except as expressly permitted in this Licence, you agree not to reverse engineer, de-compile, disassemble, alter, duplicate, modify, rent, lease, loan, sublicense, make copies, create derivative works from, distribute or provide others with the Software in whole or part, transmit or communicate the application over a network."

before an outside the USA company buys a copy of the nicely compiled 50 million phone numbers on the DNC list to start telemarketing to?
I saw this coming... took `em long enough.
