Guest justice4all Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 same problem here. i like to use edonkey though, it warns you if the file might be a fake...i'm not sure about mp3's though. with the songs on limewire, i try and download the ones that have about the right size.

Snake Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Thats odd, cause i have. When you download a fake, it should say "This file is a fake, are you sure you want to keep downloading" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrak Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Limewire alerts you if the file is corrupt when you reach 100%. It'll pop up with something like "Limewire has detected that this file is corrupted. Are you sure you want to finish the download?". But that's pretty useless since you already downloaded the file ;)And yeah, I noticed fake files on both Gnutella and Ares lately. I tried downloading "Come On, Come In - Velvet Revolver" and "Have a Nice Day - Bon Jovi" and couldn't get either of them >_<Found 'em on eMule though, first try ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest p2pgeek Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Why does the RIAA Bother with lawsuits and court battles? They should just wait and give TIME: TIME, if they wait long enough and only if they are lucky (the probably won't be) they can just have a big huge computer that uploads all blank MP3s to all the networks all the time 24/7 to the point where there are so many fakes on every network everyone will switch to either Roxio's Napster or Apple's iTunes which are the 2 leaders in paid music downloads! But if that does happen, hopefully the P2P companies will be smart enough to add a Fake File Scanner to the P2P program that blocks out the RIAA'S IPs just like the Fake File Scanner in Kazaa Lite 2.7.2! But if they are scared to death like LimeWire they will just sit there and twiddle their thumbs! I also heard that MacroVision is uploading NON-Downloadable files to all the P2P networks!! How exactly do they do that? It's not like they can encrypt the entire network? or can they? Another thing I wonder is, why do they upload "BLANK" MP3s? Why can't they upload an MP3 voice over that says something like, "The file you have downloaded was obtained illegally, please use an appropriate legal download service to purchase this song!!" I think the RIAA should really do that instead of uploading Blank MP3s, that would encourage all the P2P file swappers to switch from P2P over to Napster or iTunes! But I think Napster has a bigger audience since they allow you to get all the music you want for free AS LONG AS you pay a subscription fee of $14.95 per month and if you cancel none of you music will play until you resubscribe, Plus all music is DRM protected and will only play on up to 3 Windows 2000 or XP Computers! I think the P2P networks really should use a Fake File Scanner but I don't think they ever will, with those over protective "downloading copywrited content is illegal" messages from the FTC or RIAA on all their websites!! I just wonder these days, how long will P2P last? After all, it was all started in 1999 with Shawn Fanning's FREE Napster software! He now works on some type of other legal P2P program, but why doesn't the RIAA consult him and demand an undo system to stop P2P? Napster also had a " FREEAll Access Weekend" Alowing everyone to download FREE music for an entire weekend! The RIAA is now calling iTunes illegal because Steven Jobs will not raise the $0.99 to $1.39 like they want him too, but why don't they yell at Roxio's Napster? After all they are trying to do what ever they can to make it all FREE but legal. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
