SSSWWWEEETT!!

Just type the first letter of the word last.."eminem" becomes "minemE". All the files are still on there! jillions of them!

Didn't take long for someone to take care of that, did it?

RIAA Sucks, Napster Rules

That file looks pretty cool, but I don't want any of my MP3's renamed. I'll let other people do it and I'll snatch it from them

napster has a few days to get rid of all the alternate names, if not...its bye bye napster.

I could be wrong, but I thought it just disguised the file names so napster couldn't block them. In other words, you would need the program on both ends?

Ohh, OK, I see, if it is like that then I'll give it a shot

No..if you rename a metallica song "free mp3 made by me" how can napster block it, oe even know what it is? same principal here

cornbread, where did you read the court had issued an order on the pig latin files?

Tech Tv says that it is ILLEGIAL for napster to try and decode this and disaloy songs....ie...Blink182 changesz to Ink192B..they cant block Ink182B cuz that would be decodeing it witch again is illegial...ahh its a beautifull thing

What the hell news are you guys referring too? I've been trying to follow this Napster thing, the last I heard was they had 72 hours to come up with a way to block copy-writed music.

Is what you're referring to a way of just renaming files and using the same Napster clients?

jayyy,

i read it over at cbs news i think, maybe cnet. i don't think it can be done though. i dont see how they could block ever song given to them in a list by the riaa. either way, i don't care.

i will continue to borrow cd's from my friends, and my "DJ" friends, its that simple.

its well known that napster has to block files with those names. thats the whole point of the pig latin renamer.

as for not caring yourself, you've made your position pretty clear to everyone by now -you bring it up on every thread

yes.

I still wonder if napster is why my connection is so nasty. I was doin ok for awhile on @home, napster said, Oh no we closing the doors. Now peak times my pings suck. I think its cause everyone sucking down songs as fast as they can. Heard of one guy dloading like 300+ songs at one time i think. Dunno what connection, just heard it. Crazy stuff. I personally have been waiting for it to shut its doors to see if everything gets better. I like napster dont get me wrong. I still wonder if its why my connect sucks at peak times though.

I heard about the name switch, but didn't catch how they were going to do it.Thanks for the info. Jayyy

RR is saying that Napster is slowing down their network.

Traffic Notice:
Road Runner is seeing higher than normal Internet traffic during peak hours attributable to the high volume of Napster activity surrounding the latest court ruling. All users may experience slower browsing and higher latency as a result. For more on the Napster court battle see, http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/napster/.

I doubt its the root of the problem though. If anything it makes for a good scapegoat.

so all you have to do is put the first letter at the end???????????
