Adobe Photoshop 6.1 - 7.0 Calls back

[Brad]

Zone alarm, is a program. Basicly a software firewall.

I'm getting more lost along the way wit what you guys are saying, please elaborate....


- I stick with my belief that even if they did have a call-back, it's not going to be used on individuals who use Adobe programs. It is more likely to be used on whole companys that runn the software illegally. The thought of the FBI arresting thousands among thousands of people over warez is rediculous, it's way more costly then it is cost effective. This dosn't seem to be a realization.

- @ SaintDog, RIAA has developed a trace on Audio which has been purchased online, it's a known fact. Anyone who buys a song online, download, and then spreads out, they can find out where it is (except for the hackers who mess arround with the codes) - but the RIAA says that they will not use it to catch P2P "warez" users. As the same with them, their not going to start a million man search just to catch people sharing songs.

Well, anyways.. My story = "huh, what? Illegal? I thought it was free.. ohh man, if I only new. Hey look, I'm really sorry".

1. Agree
2. The MP3 codec doesn't have any way of calling home. While they obviously have a good argument IMO the RIAA is just a bunch of greedy corporate users who feel that they need to charge $15 for a CD that costs less than $1 to produce and has only three songs that I like.

On point # 2: I agree, the RIAA are a bunch of greedy people, paying $20+ for a cd is what drives people to download mp3's. Mabey they sould re think their pricing a bit if they want to stop the distro of mp3's. For the price of one cd with 15 or more songs on it i can buy a huge pack of blanks. As far as stoping p2p users, it will never happen.

P2P is here forever, I just braught up the RIAA thing because it's kind of the same situation, people are getting scared now that Adobe is going to sue them, well it's not going to happen.. their not coming after YOU unless you own a company that runs 20instances of Adobe programs.

RIAA is just a bunch of cut-throat greedy *******s.. They say their representing the ARTISTS, which is bull. Artists barely make a chunk of what the CD's cell for. They get paid the big bux for performances, and producing / writting. If you were a singer who sang lyrics you didn't write, and you didn't perform, I don't care how many records you sell, you're gonna have to find a day job.
