Colleges working to discourage music file sharing
Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. - Special web sites, brochures, mandatory orientation sessions and slowing file-sharing computers are among the steps South Carolina colleges and universities are taking to discourage students from sharing music files over campus Internet connections.
"Trying to get through to them is difficult, but we're going to push to get the word out even more this year," Chandler Robinson, Clemson University's network services director, said.
The universities want students to know illegally sharing music files could land them in federal court as the recording industry targets those who download pirated music.
The Recording Industry Association of America has subpoenaed at least 10 universities and more than 800 individuals in efforts to end file swapping. School administrators are getting serious about it too.
Students know it's against the law "but a few of them will test the waters. We just make the waters very hard to test," College of Charleston computing director Marcia Moore said.
Most universities in the state discourage file sharing on school internet connections by slowing downloads. Servers scan Internet activity and when a connection uploading or downloading a song is found, bandwidth is taken away from that computer.
With the technology, it can take 90 minutes to download a single song.
The College of Charleston, Clemson, and the University of South Carolina have used the technology for several years. South Carolina also has an official who fields complaints about students swapping music files.
Some students have stopped or curtailed their file-sharing because of recent court cases.
Jonathan Langston, an 18-year-old College of Charleston freshman, said he still downloads about six songs a week. He said his connection is pretty slow but said he has no plans to stop building his music library.
A college of Charleston sophomore, who asked that his name not be used, said he gets around slow downloads on the college system by getting music directly from the computers of friends who live off-campus.
Senior Rick Waldo Jr. said he downloads songs of independent artists who would prefer the Internet exposure to protection by the recording industry.
He said he's not concerned because his online library is small compared to those of some of his friends.
"Anytime there is an attempt at prevention, there's going to be a counter attempt at success," he said. "The Internet is built for file-sharing. People are always going to find ways to do that."
A recent study by the Pew Research Center found that 80 percent of full-time students don't care whether the music they share online is copyrighted or not.
But another survey questioning students between 12 and 22 found 70 percent would stop downloading if there was a serious risk of fines or going to jail.
"I don't think the kids will wise up until a lawsuit hits a university and a student goes to jail," Clemson's Robinson said.

Yeah, server is probably down right now. Trust me, I have Kazaa Lite also and it's shite compared to Soulseek. When running, Soulseek has everything. Entire shows from many bands (got some complete concerts from Mogwai from shows in July '03) can be found, b-sides, and entire albums from obscure bands that would be hard to even find 3 tracks off of on Kazaa Lite.

i'll take your word for it and check it out when it's up again.
It seems to be working now. You just gotta download a little patch fix here (//www.slsk.blogspot.com) that will make it work, assuming you already have Soulseek downloaded. The above link may be down temporarily but it will surely be on soon. By the way, I just found and downloaded an entire Mogwai concert from the show I was at Thursday (Sept. 3rd). I'm telling ya, this is the shizzle.
OH MY GOD DIRK YOU ARE THE MAN !!! i finally checked that soulthing program out and it's awesome. i just downloaded all three secret chiefs 3 albums which i never could find on kazaa and don't even get me started on how much hardcore metal there is.
the only minus there is is that it runs kinda slow on my computer but i'll soon get another one.

Okay. I just have to put in my two cents on this. SoulSeek is very awesome!!!! thank you.
I stand in favor of Soulseek. Ive been going through the files and some people have some amazing things i though i cold never find nor get anywhere, thanks to all who are on there sharing. Highly recommended.

1 ITUNES
Praising iTunes is like endorsing chocolate and puppies: well, duh. Even so, any discussion of music on the Web has to start here. With its supersize catalog (more than 2 million tracks), fair pricing, and any-idiot-can-figure-it-out interface, it's most people's first stop for downloading the latest Kelly Clarkson single or Mariah Carey remix. Since it launched in 2003, iTunes has trounced its competitors, capturing close to 75 percent of the marketplace and selling more than a billion tracks.
But while everyone knows iTunes is big, fewer people realize how useful it can be for finding new tunes. Start with its top 100 downloads — updated daily — and you'll see an instant, direct reflection of American musical tastes: the newest Dixie Chicks single; surprise emo phenoms Panic! At the Disco; that Daniel Powter song that's on American Idol every week. Then move on to the ''essentials'' playlists, full of offbeat cult favorites. (Thanks to the ''Folk 101 Essentials,'' John Prine's epic ''Angel From Montgomery'' is our new after-work beer-sipping soundtrack.) And one of iTunes' best features is actually free: The site has grown into a portal for thousands of Web radio stations and eccentric podcasts, offering everything from rowdy dancehall reggae to classical music. Happy hunting.

This underappreciated, expertly curated MP3 store is the music geek's alternative to iTunes. It's packed with fantastic choices, and at $9.99 a month for 40 downloads, it's a great deal. Emusic sells tunes only from independent labels, which means you won't find most current pop hits here. But spend some time sifting through its 1.2 million tracks — including new stuff from Neko Case and Spoon and classics by Johnny Cash and Otis Redding — and you won't care. Best of all, the site's sharp editorial team steers you toward the good stuff with articles on the best Parisian jazz or the latest Brazilian pop. And their ''Dozens'' lists are essential 12-album starting points in categories like ''boomer-friendly rock,'' or ''English folk,'' or ''old-school punk.''

In addition to Fab Four songs, our station came up with some Kinks and Stones, lots of obscure '60s nuggets, and unexpected contemporary acts like the Pernice Brothers.

Pop gluttons will love Rhapsody's all-you-can-eat subscription service, which lets you download as many songs as you like for $9.99 a month. (Though the tracks will vanish from your hard drive when you stop paying. And it won't work with an iPod.) Another draw is the playlists, the most creative and well thought-out of any MP3 store. Their genre mixes go way beyond the obvious into left-field genres like ''pub-rock explosion'' and '''80s paisley underground.'' And somebody on staff obviously has a sense of humor: ''Yacht rock'' features smooth-sailing soft pop (Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald) fit for a day of sipping Cape Codders down at the marina.

Still, with more than 1.8 million bands offering their own homepages, it's impossible to ignore — it seems like every act you've ever heard of (and countless unsigned acts you haven't) posts free songs here. Read about a band? Head to MySpace and you're basically guaranteed to get something for your time: a prerelease album preview, a new single, or even a raw demo. Weezer and Nine Inch Nails debuted their latest albums here, and Fred Durst recently posted a rant about former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland. Maybe that's not a compelling advertisement, but hey, there are at least 999,999 non-Durst bands on there, too.

24 illegal song downloads cost US woman 220,000 dollars
In the first US trial to challenge the illegal downloading of music on the Internet, a single mother from Minnesota was ordered Thursday to pay 220,000 dollars for sharing 24 songs online.
Jammie Thomas, 30, was the first among more than 26,000 people sued by the world's most powerful recording companies to refuse a settlement after being slapped with a lawsuit by the Recording Industry of America and six major music labels.
She turned down an offer to pay a few thousands dollars in fines and instead took the case to court.
Unlike some who insist on the right to share files over the Internet, Thomas says she was wrongfully targeted by SafeNet, a contractor employed by the recording industry to patrol the Internet for copyrighted material.
Her lawyer said earlier this week that she had racked up some 60,000 dollars in legal fees because she refused to be bullied.
And while Thomas insisted on the courthouse steps that she had never downloaded or uploaded music, her lawyer tried to convince jurors there was no way to prove who had uploaded songs on the Kazaa file sharing network.
A jury took just five hours to decide that evidence provided by the music labels showed otherwise and found Thomas guilty of copyright infringement, court records showed.
Thomas, an employee of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, an Indian tribe, was ordered to pay a 9,250-dollar fine for each of 24 shared songs cited in the case, including Godsmack's "Spiral," Destiny's Child's "Bills, Bills, Bills" and Sara McLachlan's "Building a Mystery."
It could have been a lot worse.
The fine could have reached 150,000 dollars a song if the jury had found "willful" copyright infringement.
Had the record companies sued her for all 1,702 songs found in the online folder the fine could have run in the millions.

World's biggest pre-release pirate music site netted
British and Dutch police said they shut down Tuesday the website OiNK, the world's biggest source of pirated pre-release chart albums.
OiNK distributed albums often weeks ahead of their official release date. More than 60 major album releases had been leaked onto the Internet so far this year.
The site had an estimated membership of 180,000. People were only invited to become members if they could prove they had music to offer and had to keep posting tracks to maintain their membership.
It is alleged the site was operated by a 24-year-old man who lived near Middlesbrough in north-east England. He was arrested Tuesday. The site's servers, based in Amsterdam, were seized in raids last week.
The Interpol-coordinated raids followed a two-year investigation by the British Phonographic Industry and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry bodies.
"OiNK was central to the illegal distribution of pre-release music online," said Jeremy Banks, head of the IFPI's Internet anti-piracy unit.
"This was not a case of friends sharing music for pleasure. This was a worldwide network that got hold of music they did not own the rights to and posted it online."
edit: sorry for the repost, didn't know it was also over in animal collective thread.
It's a sad day for me, and probably other music lovers alike...
It's not going to stop, till you wise up... recording industry bitches.
I find it funny that the album that was probably responsible for the record industries panic (In Rainbows) wasn't even allowed to be posted on oink.
