With a court order could a comapny not confiscate your web logs to get the IP address of every machine that has downloaded your freshly ripped Christina Aguilera album sitting on your web server? This is old news and we all just need to get over it. Napster logs an IP address, big deal, every other server in the world does it too. Why should it be different? You have no need to worry as long as your not doing something illegal. If you don't like write your own product and don't log ip's. --codemonky On Mon, 31 Jan 2000, Maniac . wrote:
I don't think he was complaining about the ethics of MP3s. He was stating an honest concern that Napster logs *YOUR* IP address when you download an MP3. With a court order, could the music companies not get this information from Napster? Would this not give them enough of an audit trail to crack down on people? Its a possibility....Wtf? What has mp3 pirating with volnurability todo?;p Please take your etichal problems about mp3's some where else. I am sure most of the readers of this mail list has mp3's of music which is copyrighted, and I wouldn't be surpised if even YOU have it ;p - technot-==-Man!ac-==- "I don't intend to offend, I offend with my intent" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
