Do you even know that an ip address can be spoofed? That young punks who are the real culprits (I teach many of them) often run various software tools that find unsuspecting Kazaa users, for example, to finger their crime onto?

You say you’re not stupid and I’d agree, but you may perhaps be naive if you think that the RIAA’s method of finding those “guilty” isn’t just bad science and legally shameful.

My, but you're a dumb one! Are you able to comprehend the notion that IP addresses can be spoofed, and / or are sometimes dynamic?

Your acting like a little kid. Calling me names does not make you brilliant. Id be willing to bet that bottom line I'm smarter than you. I'll be able to tell on your answer. This is really fun but can only do it for awhile more as some good friends are picking up soon and taking me to the Waterfront Restaurant at Maalaea Harbor here on Maui.

I suspect that our fellow Freeper Fishhawk isn’t going to understand the concept of spoofing IP addresses, malicious prosecutions, or any of that stuff until it happens to them.

Hopefully, it won’t. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. But a court found the accused in this case was innocent and all charges were DROPPED, and the RIAA didn’t even bother to go after the REAL perp after the culprit had been identified.

A person would have to be a total f’in idiot to believe that innocent people are not railroaded each and every day by corrupt or incompetent law enforcement, prosecutors (can anyone say ‘FitzFong’?) or pseudo-mobsters like the RIAA.

This ain’t the America of the 1950’s anymore, dammit.

For future reference, it's generally a good idea to make sure your comment claiming intellectual superiority is free of spelling and grammar errors.

That said, I notice you studiously avoided a reply to the substance of my previous post. Surely you're aware that IP addresses can be dynamic and/or spoofed. Correct?

There is good and bad on both sides of this issue.

I’ve got copyrights on 2 songs I’ve written. I don’t want them altered in any way, nor do I want anyone else to make money off of them without my permission.

I understand the artists’ position. It’s their work, they should get payed for it’s use. And no, if people are copying an artist’s work that he is selling commercially and letting people all over download it for free, that is wrong.

But, the RIAA is doing this because of the sheer greed on their part. There is less than a dollar of value in a CD and it’s packaging. The profit markup is unbelievable. The big recording houses are losing money BIG-TIME and that is why they are so hot on this issue.

They are fighting a losing battle, technologically. Digital music will be copied, no matter what they try to do.

You are correct of course, but I didn’t edit it or really care because of who I was writing too. I’m more attentive when writing to nice people.

Let’s try this once again. Are you aware that IP addresses can be dynamic and/or spoofed? It’s a yes or no question...shouldn’t be too difficult.

I know two other NitanyLions here on Maui. They are not too sharp either. One is even a Lawyer, which I suspect you are by your pushy tactics and not knowing when you are beating a dead horse. Or, maybe you just went to Penn for the good football.

Thanks - that's as good as an admission that you were wrong.

No apologies necessary. Although it's a shame you lack the intellectual honesty to admit that you were simply mistaken.

The RIAA is hypocritical and unethical. For years people have made mix tapes off records and CDs and never once was it considered illegal to do so, either to give to others or make for yourself. Even ripping tunes off a CD does not give a 100% equal copy of the original CD’s quality. But because they are a lot better quality than CD to tape or record to tape, RIAA says it’s illegal to do so.

F&ck RIAA. It isn’t the quality of the copy that makes it illegal. It is about ownership. The precedent has already been set. They never said ‘boo’ about it in the past. Nobody would have agreed with them either.

You are about 200% wrong. I’m only here pulling your chain and you seem to love it for some reason. Still beating a dead horse and going nowhere. Have a nice ride. If you are so confident of a big win and you made me look stupid, what are you still doing here? Must be a slow night in the dorm.

Oh really? Feel free to show me where I'm wrong. I notice that after multiple requests, you still refuse to admit that IP addresses can be spoofed or are sometimes dynamic. I wonder at this point whether you even understand that's a possibility. As I said, the intellectually honest course of action would be for you to admit that you were mistaken, and move on. That you refuse to do so speaks volumes about you.

If you are so confident of a big win and you made me look stupid, what are you still doing here?

Sometimes I just enjoy hammering an inferior argument.
