RIAA, Case Mods, and frustration
Jun. 26th, 2003 01:03 pmAre You in RIAA's Cross Hairs?
Blargh. Stupid RIAA. Whatever. I just use BitTorrent for weird movies and anime. They can't bust me for that :-P
Kent Salas' BlueIce G4 Mod - with a built-in LCD in the front o_O He's made a new mod that's being called the Pyramac
Might get me some Ecosandals. Would be nice for the trip, I think. At $25 a pair, I can get some nice footware and help poor people in Africa. Sweet.
Had a lovely little chat with
hathien before she had to go to bed. *squish*
Oh. Yes. The bastards at Oneonta finally got new machines. G5s with new software. They were waiting until we left, damn it. You bastards! The news came from Sven this morning:
Wild Voxel: We just got new toys
Scifi 1701D: Oooh? What new toys?
Wild Voxel: A new lab full of G5's with some real software
Scifi 1701D: Of course this is after I'm gone.
Wild Voxel: Maya unlimited and up to date other stuff
Wild Voxel: we were waiting for you to graduate
Scifi 1701D: Yeah, I though so.
I've just spent the last hour trying to get a javascript counter to work at
nztrip2003 only to find that Livejournal doesn't support javascript. ::kicks it:: So I made my own page with the counter and have it linked on the community info page. *sigh* so ghetto. And I keep accidentally making the community post in my personal LJ, so sorry to anyone who kept seeing the post appear and disappear.
I'm hungry.
"They may go after people who are on really large pipes and seem to be uploading a lot," said Bram Cohen, a P2P programmer who developed BitTorrent. Or, the RIAA could "find someone who is unimportant but typical of everybody out there, and just sue them to make their life miserable to send a message."

Or, to freak everyone out, the RIAA could choose to sue a smaller offender.
To sue people somewhat indiscriminately would "scare the bejesus out of everybody else," Cohen said.
