I wonder if the RIAA will come after me for all the GD I download. I can't wait to see how good (bad) their autosearch methods work with BT. I can just imagine that somewhere they will f*** up and think I'm downloading some copywrited content. |

It'll be easier for them to track who's dl'ing what because of the way the tracker works. Just look in the console while downloading a popular torrent.
I already use a dynamically updated IP exclusion list. I'm always amazed at the number of restricted IP's that try to connect.

i download live performances from all kinds of bands that allow taping, and have even used BT for some of it as of late.
if they even tried to bring up one of their copyright cases against me they would come off looking kind of silly when it's easy enough to show that the "infringing" files are all perfectly legal, i doubt it would even be neccesary to retain an attorney for such a case, but at worst if it was i would expect that it wouldn't be excessively hard to be compensated for that expense (well, i gotta admit i'm just hoping that would be the case in such a situation since it would surely seem right)
i can't even imagine why people would bother with the generic studio produced crap that most share when there is such a plethora of bands that allow live taping, the quality of some of these recordings is really outstanding, and the lists of bands that allow it seems to be growing very quickly over the last few years, and the shows are generally by bands that take pride in their live performances and figure that they can help make new fans by allowing them to be shared freely.
not to mention the general trend of their fans to use nice lossless compression like shn or flac  |

ummmm no. as long as you havent downloaded any etree/bt sourced shows that directly conflict with the gd stated policy on live music downloads. more specifically, we are requested to not download any shows which have been officially released by gdp unless it is an audience sourced recording of that same show. ethically, as a group, i find most bt/etree/archive.org users to adhere to this request.
i have been a siteop on the etree network for 5 years so far and i find it(etree/archive.org) to be a wonderful self-policing organization. bt is nice, archive.org is awesome, but i prefer my good ole fashioned FTP network. |
