WASTE in the news

But the RIAA still says you’re not safe.

What’s funny is - IRC is where all this stuff started to begin with. We’ve come full circle

i’ve seen alot of bittorrent irc channels springing up - irc dcc is crap, but irc is one of the best web communication mediums out there for spreading this sort of thing, and bittorrent is incredibly easy to use. means i can get Red vs Blue faster is well, for my weekly halo fix.

“RIAA may be better off penetrating al Qaeda” :)

Mp3 channels (served by DCC Bots or FTP servers) were around long before Napster et al. came about.

IRC DCC may be cryptic, but it’s definately the best way to get things. It’s far from crap.

You’re joking right? DCCbots are crap (and I wrote one at one point) - but it’s better than nothing when you have no contacts.

Compared to Bittorrent and news groups, and godless kazaa, IRC is the best thing ever. I’ve had less problems out of it than any of the others.

godless kazaa - because heaven knows you want your theft to be religiously sanctioned?

Chet

The RIAA just keeps on going, Tenacious as hell.

I should clarify: Godless Kazaa due to all the fucking pop-ups and spyware. Kazaa also loves to mislable files. OH GOOD IM DOWNLOADING AN EPISODE OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE, OH WAIT ITS GAY PORN, MY EYES!

i realize you’re joking, but that’s not kazaa’s fault, just the dickheads on the other end sharing the file.

Yeah, I know, but that doesnt change the fact that when using IRC or BitTorrent you 99.999999% of the time get the file you downloaded.

Hello, Kazaa Lite.

I use kazaa lite, however it doesnt stop the second part of the problem.
