I found this today, and so far I've had no problems with RIAA scrambled files.

The download is only 752KB, nice little efficient program. It has already replace Kazaa and Grokster for me, but I might still use IRC for harder to find stuff.

Actually, the RIAA has just started to hit this one and BitTorrent. Kazaa still holds the majority of people they sue, though.

It also looks as though Canada will overturn their copyright law on this and that this music thing is gonna go international (Europe looks like it's gonna start doing this, too).


Boo-urns.

I'll check this thing out, I have been looking for a new filesharing program.

I can only see them suing us if our copyright laws on mp3's are slightly altered. We do, after all, all ready pay a tax on CDR, DVD, and mp3 media. Check out the article posted in General Discussion (?) for more info on it.
