1. Comment - RIAA Sues MP3.com

   Just think how long it will be before someone will write a program that will automatically keep a list of links up to date for a certain account.

2. Comment - RIAA Sues MP3.com

   I just tried giving one of the URLs in the M3U to a friend who does not even have a my.mp3.com account and it worked for him. All someone has to do is make up a list of URLs for different songs. I can't believe how careless mp3.com was about this. The RIAA definitely has a case here.

3. Comment - RIAA Sues MP3.com

   I just watched the Beam-It demonstration so I decided to give it a try. My MP3 player was not able to play it because beam-it had a URL in the playlist (m3u) file. (Right click the link to play the file and choose Save Target As... to download the m3u separately.) I then discovered that I could just easily open the URL in Internet Explorer and save the .mp3 to my hard drive. I can only imagine how much this could increase music piracy because people could exchange mp3.com links without even transferring files with eachother. I hope I'm wrong about this though.

4. Comment - Microsoft Debuts Millennium at CES

   I really don't think these "new features" constitute Millenium being sold as a new OS by any means. Who are they trying to fool? A new Windows Media Player, CD player, online games, and Movie Maker? Please. I'm sure most, if not all, of those things will be available via Windows Update anyway. At least Windows 98 Second Edition only added the "Second Edition" to the title. There might be more features that are not mentioned in this article, but if a new CD player was cited instead, I doubt they're a big deal anyway.

5. Comment - RIAA Sues Napster For Copyright Infringement

   (Dec 8, 1999 - 6:38 PM)

   I think CuteMX (www.cuteftp.com) would definitely be considered a direct competitor to Napster. Also, port file sharing technology to mIRC? mIRC is an IRC client, not an operating system or programming language so I don't understand what you mean by that. I wouldn't consider Napster new technology either, it's just a file sharing tool like any other except it specifically targets MP3s and music. I agree with other posts about the RIAA having to sue every medium that music can be distributed by. Napster even has at least two disclaimers.
