Hi,
Your thread about napster will be nice fine if you think about law to protect
artists. But this experience can have a double sens. How limit the protect in
network with this trojan. How protect your people against artists law ?
I've a cheaper solution. napster use (in gnome helix) a loop between 16001 and
an other that connect to esound in way to produce sound from computer about dl
songs. You can extract the sounds cards from office computers out of them;
little blue screens in the area but efficiently. To very block port, I see that
you are good.
or
make a policy in your enterprise about use of the Internet. If it's a providing
system, let the persons showing what artists produces. Songs are in major cases
not complete or unable to use because broken headers. MP3 is not signed in
queue of file. A little part of download is enough to ear it. I'm not to track
mp3 users. It's a solution to make people finging about liberty. And so much
better is to trap audio2mp3 softwares because it's very crasy for an artist to
ear his song deformed and without royalties. Let theyre found a law before
blocking internet dreams. Or make a RFC and build a special port for this.
gilles.
