Freedom, maybe they think 6000 people will download a $1 track once each.

Or maybe they know they can sue 1 pirate $6000 per song they find s/he shared.

5,000 tracks from its catalogue available on the Internet. The court estimated the value of the tracks at $34 million.

So $34000000 for 5000 files?

That is 34000000/5000 == $6800 per file.

That was some really expensive music!

Even if one were to grant neostyles’ claims about the ability to crack encrypted communications: there is a difference between doing it against one targeted person, and doing it against a flood of data pouring into a commercial service such as RapidShare. To comply with the court order, as I read it, RapidShare would have to decrypt ALL uploads, and that is clearly beyond anyone’s technical ability to do in real time.

hotfile is booming…

Too bad Hotfile sucks. The download speeds are even slower than Rapidshare and they make you wait even longer between downloads.

Solution:
Pack the files in an archive with strong encryption. And do that TWICE so that people who don’t know the password will only see one single archive within an archive. Better yet, do it thrice or more if needed.

You don’t need to encrypt twice to hide the filenames, Rar has an option to encrypt the filenames as well. Without the password, it looks like an empty archive.

I wouldn’t worry too much about decisions made by that kangoroo court in hamburg. They have quite a reputation in germany by now for making idiotic decisions that get overruled by the higher courts very fast.
So although I wouldn’t say that rapidshare will win this case I would bet a lot that the higher court(s) will make a much more realistic judgement.

Keep telling yourself that bro..

You missed my point completely.. if you think that the government is going to allow such encrypted communication after WW2.. you are out of your mind..

Im not a conspiracy nut.. or somebody who thinks they know everything.. but im pretty sure FCC regulations doesn’t allow for any official encryption method that they don’t have control over.. its just not going to happen no matter how super secret you think everything is. We are all slaves to the government.

Its the same reason why they can triangulate cell phones.. or even find a cb radio..

Again.. the effort it would take for them to do it would be incredible.. not to mention the politics involved.. but don’t kid yourself.

Lets do it, lets stop sharing.
Lets stop sharing everything.
A whole world of non sharing,
non giving. Lets ask Tim Berners-Lee to not share his World Wide Web with any one. Lets all live alone.

It would need super-duper computer to brute-force a multi-layered encrypted archive. That’ll surely slow them down and show that content filtering useless.

@neostyles:

We need to stop this. Both of us. We’ve got it so, so wrong about filesharing and piracy. Why didn’t the RIAA tell us? I never got an email, fax, text, or anything! I mean, first they give us this list of sites to harass and troll and then they just leave us dangling. I’ve had enough. I could never really believe their piracy BS anyway. There is only so much lying you can do before it just gets so boring and repetitive, hehe, but you don’t need me to tell YOU that eh, neostyles? I know it’s a drag for you too having to lie every day and pretend it’s stealing.

I just think there’s other scams out there we could pull instead of this RIAA one. They don’t even pay me that much. I might go into phishing emails I think.
