LimeWire to stop pirating

[Grav]

One of the main P2P clients for Gnutella, LimeWire is to work out a way to block people sharing pirated content.

According to Slyck news around three to five days ago, LimeWire developers began working on two new branches of the code, cc_reverify_interval-branch and cc-publish-branch.

The first branch will verify that every file shared has a license. If this is not the case, the file will not be shared. The second branch is for publishing one's own work without a licence.

If an individual shares an unlicensed MP3 file, the LimeWire client will display a message and block its distribution.

Thats good news. Its about time.

[platnum]

Why is that good news?

[Grav]

Remember that he works for the government.

[Medieval Bob]

Once everyone figures out that pirated material isn't lost profits (which will be never), I think the buzz will die down.

[Sum Yung Guy]

Why is that good news?

I don't know maybe its my values. When I do things that could have an effect on someone else I put myself in there shoes and ask myself if I would want that done to me... So if I was a music artist, or a movie director, or something of that nature, I would hate knowing that millions of people are downloading my music/movies for free, which is also known as stealing.

Remember how LiveWire got banned? Because he used Zelarons theme in his own website and Chruser got mad because it was his hard work being stolen? Well its the same exact thing.

Also I work for the government.

edit, just so you know I have a huge collection of movies games anime and music and I bought every one.

[Acer]

I beleive in pirating what you wouldn't ever buy in the first place. I have a shit load of music, and i had(stolen) a shit load of CDs... i get what i want and what i dont want but would like to listen to once and while without scanning TV and Radio i download. Same with Movies and everything else... ill never have the money for Photoshop nor if I did would i buy it... i just doodle on it. So, no evil

[Hades-Knight]

Lol!!!! This Is Hilarious...theyll Never Stop Us!!

[PureRebel]

lol people are just going to find there own ways...

SPAMMMZING


www.cdzinc.com <=== already a new way to get music.. but you can only stream it( having a recorder on ur comp never hurts)

[Titusfied]

I think it sucks, and I am going to download EVERYTHING now, before this goes into effect..

[Hades-Knight]

I have succesfully downloaded teh intarweb into a floppy disk

[Mantralord]

who the fuck is still using gnutella anyway? if the RIAA and shit actually wants to make a difference, they should stop suing shit that no one has used for the past 5 years. seriously, they're still suing Kazaa...

[Grav]

Heh. Nobody uses KaZaA anymore. I rarely use LimeWire just to get individual Mp3s.

[Titusfied]

Pirating! Ban! Ban! Ban! You can't say those words here!

[Mantralord]

no big secret that i pirate gay porn

[Titusfied]

Aaaarrggh! Me mates!

[tidus2005]

well they will have to try and stop bit torrent because that is the newest way to share files P2P and from what i can tell it is really fast.

[Jonas]

Yep. Limewire, kazza, edonkey and such are like tofu turkey at thanksgiving. something you want to avoid.
Why download a single song,when you can download the entire album via BitTorrent? that's what i like about BitTorrent, people take the time scan the packaging, and put a proper playlist in with the files.
But you didn't hear that from me. :x

[Grav]

And you are..?

[Hades-Knight]

D3v......

[tidus2005]

actually i know a kid who i went to school with whom used the nickname jonas, so it might be him if he was looking around the histories of the old computers.

[Grav]

Ok, hope he has fun.

[Lenny]

If, however, you only want one song or so, then LimeWire and the others are great for it...either that or take the trouble in downloading the whole album and deleting the songs you don't want...and all the album covers.

[Jonas]

I am the Walrus. =)

[Lenny]

I am he as you are he as you are me
and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
you let your face grow long

I am the eggman
they are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Mr. city policeman sitting
pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run
I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
you let your knickers down

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Sitting in an English garden
waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
from standing in the English rain

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Expert, texpert choking smokers
don't you think the joker laughs at you
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard
climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' goo
goo goo g' joob goo
juba juba juba
juba juba juba
juba juba juba juba
juba juba


And so on and so forth...

[Lenny]

Uber leet?! Oh. Dear. GOD!

Wait, doesn't the U need the itty bitty dotsies over the top of it? What's that thing called? The two dots?

[Dar_Win]

What in the ub3r l33t world are you attempting to process?

[Sum Yung Guy]

Uber means Super in german.. and calling yourself 'super' is gay.

[Dar_Win]

We arn't talking in German, we're talking in interweb.

Speaks for itself really.

[Grav]

I don't think getting laid has anything to do with it. I can still read it effortlessly.

I'd say more along the lines of "if you spend the time to write that then you need to get laid."

[Lenny]

I actually copied and pasted it...but never mind.

[platnum]

rightttttt. Why dont people jsut get music for cheap from black people. We need to help them get out of poverty.

[Lenny]

There's only new music so there is new ringtones...

If you can tell me what song that is from then I may grant you a favour or two...

Wait a minute, whatever happened to Wilma?
