wouldn't that mean they'd have to shut down9 pretty much all of the IM programs?...cuz you can do file transfers in them...

There will always be a way to pirate software and music. If the code can be written, it can be cracked.

you can always get stolen stuff it will only be gotten by different means

what he said! :)

[mt.biker]

all add something, peir to peir is a the way of the past, ftps will be where you get music that you want. Ftps can never be stopped or controlled!

FTP's are the only place ive ever gotten music from. i always thought napster kazaa and all those programs sucked anyways. besides on FTP's you can get full albums

[Kyle]

whats an FTP?

[Addict]

Nah. They won't ever stop piracy. Its not possible. All they are doing is motivating the masses to make better programs and hire better lawyers.

Ever used IRC? That can't be stopped. FTP sites can always be found and stopped. Not that they won't pop up elsewhere.....

[mt.biker]

and ftp is like seeing someones hard drive and you can download files off of it

There are ways to stop them, though they are just much harder to implement!

ftp's are faster too, the fastest i could get on any program was like 20 something k i get a nice steady 85k/s on the ftp i use

[blind34_1]

ftps, p2p, its all unstoppable - the way it should be. I like these recording companies trying to implement copy-protection. I laugh in their face, because there are still people that use their brains and get around this garbage.

The end of music sharing will mean the end of american freedom as we know it.

pssssht 85k, that's shiat dude.
It's when you get in them 300's-500's you know you're flyin :yes:

[ChrisCantSkate]

i dont know of a server that i can really test out my speed. i can keep 85 k/s on my ftp and still browse the internet fine. so i dont think its my max. whats you connection?

[juvenile]

Cable
40k up/~500k down

[ChrisCantSkate]

ahh, im on DSL, im not sure what my speed is, its fast though. 7.3 seconds for a mb i think. it says im connected at 10000000bps i think (10mb)

That's not the actual speed though. You have your DSL modem connected to an ethernet card. Its just stating that you have 10Mb between the modem & the card.;)

[ChrisCantSkate]

yeah i know. if i got 10mb/s that would be beyond fast.
