The media?s putting fake files on file sharing progs

[Class316]

Certain record labels have been flooding online swapping services with bogus copies of popular songs. The problem has been there for a while but has mushroomed in the last 3 months. "It's more prevalent in the last three months, It's gotten real, real, real severe.'' say Streamcast Networks. Read more

For Kazaa you can use startfiles to help bypass such things. Read more about them on http://pub45.ezboard.com/fmorpheusfrm13.showMessage?topicID=1.topic#PBTV

Ha, very interesting and amusing. Funny to think of people being paid to flood crap songs.

I would hope that people delete the fake files so they don't get spread even more

[jajig]

does anyone use Kazza for music anyway?

[Damian]

I wonder if they caused me to get all those fake songs and software off many P2P proggies? I never got any on DC but quite a lot on FastTrack.

I use Kazaa for music sometimes, it's all I get off there when I do use it

It's a real chore to download anything on my connection, it's painfully slow.

[Damian]

I have gotten absolutely loads off there, warez mostly. Works all the time really.

I use to use Audiogalaxy for all my Music, kazaa only had shit stuff (128)

[Damian]

You can get higher quality music off Kazaa, probably not as much as AudioGalaxy but it is there. Hell I have seen some music there that is 1.4 megs PS in size, baciscally no different to WAV quality.
