Hey. Has anybody here who know about and use AudioGalaxy know that AudioGalaxy is banning many of the MP3s from its database??? I think they are afraid of ending up like Napster.

www.gnutelliums.com Download a gnutella (a de centralized p2p file sharing network) client but enjoy it while you can. The RIAA is pushing to legalize DoS attacks on the networks to bring them down.

The RIAA needs to be stopped. They are single handedly destroying the music industry. AudioGalaxy did a pretty good job at keeping people from downloading copyrighted music (much better than any other P2P program), but the RIAA sued to get them to close anyways.

The best thing AG was good at was finding obscure songs that aren't even on CD (like live versions of songs, songs from small bands and such). By shutting down AG, the RIAA can keep small, lesser known bands under their thumb while being able to shove it's crap down your throats. (It's the whole economic principle of opportunity cost. You can't listen to N'Sync if you spend your time listening to some underground band)

Zeropaid linked a pretty good article by one of the developers of AudioGalaxy. It's a pretty good read, so I suggest anyone who's interested about it read it.

Bah... the music industry

I use winMx... and, for 90% of the songs I DL and like, I end up buying the album.  And the the rest are usually b-sides of rarities.

Actually, as far as I know, AudioGalaxy isn't shut down - not really. What they've done is to assign by default the copyright setting to all their songs. This means that no songs can be downloaded. What happens then is that any musician/band who want their songs to be available needs to contact AudioGalaxy and inform them of such. AG would then remove the copyright protection from that bands' files, and people will be able to download them.

Well in reality its shut down.

I think that violates some constitutional right...

damn...that sounds like authorizing terrorist activites...

exactly like it, since most DoS attacks are not launched by one computer, you have to have several, and how they get several is usually viruses...cool, then we could sue the RIAA for legalizing viruses...

No, what you do is get all the p2p clients to ping (presumed method of attack) back with like 500kb packets. Anyone trying to mass attack the network would get ****ed over sooo bad.

Oh well, guess I can uninstall AudioGalaxy Satellite now then.

Now I'm using Kazaa. Not too bad though. Hard to find some songs.

[an0n]

KaZaA is getting repetative. You search for like, I dunno, 'donkey' and you'll get 20 results, but they're all the same file just renamed. And then you've got the little ****s who rename 500mb film files so you waste your time downloading the Little friggin Mermaid. I might just move to Turkey (copyrights are non-existant).

Turkey???!!![/i]

I did try eDonkey2000 once. It takes a bloody long time to connect. I gave up on it eventually.

So does the Sonny Bono copyright act, the DMCA, the EUCD and the CBDTPA but did that stop them? The RIAA, MPAA and BSA are money grabbing scumbags that will stop at nothing to increase their profits, even it it means trampling our rights and constitutions (which they don't give a crap about). http://action.eff.org

[NeoHunter]

Whatever it is, I need to find more reliable sources of both English and Chinese MP3s.

I've un-installed AudioGalaxy and I'm now left with Kazaa only.

*sigh*
yes it was a great way to see IF you liked a cd b4 you paid out $15+ for it.
