12-year-old settles music swap lawsuit.
Godless comments:
This battle was over before it started. EarthStation5 is where it’s at.
The servers are located in Palestine (!), and I *doubt* the RIAA can issue subpoenas there. The company is explicitly at war with the RIAA, and the software supposedly does all kinds of spoofing so that you don’t know who you’re downloading or sending to.
Also, I bet that some EFF guy will take up a collection for the people who are sued. I’d pony up a few bucks for this poor girl. F*** the RIAA – they’re no-value-added middlemen – nothing but Luddites throwing sand in the engines of progress. They’re no different from the Industrial Revolution-era malcontents who sabotaged productivity-enhancing machines.
Check this out:
SupportP2P. Does EarthStation5 really have anoynomus p2p as you have been telling us? Is there any way you can prove this with facts?
Ras: The answer is yes. When using our full security, an OUTSIDE person such as the RIAA and the MPAA will not be able to determine who the user is, what files they are downloading or uploading and where they are located. We are about to offer a reward next week in the sum of $50,000.00 for anyone that can break our full security features.
SupportP2P What are some plans for ES5 in the future to make it more safe for p2p users?
Ras: Our software is quite safe NOW. No other P2P software is even close to the security features that we have currently. We are updating our software THREE times a week in various languages on our download page The Fastract system which was the best P2P software on the internet is no longer supported. As a result, the RIAA and the MPAA have been able to break into their software. The Gnutella 2 has no security and of course the RIAA and the MPAA has been able to break into that system and is now engaging in subpoenas to those users.
Also, as I commented before, the RIAA’s attempts at copy protection are inherently doomed, because you can always rerecord the output before it hits the speakers.
