--- From: "Perez, Jose " <Jose.Perezat_private> To: "'declanat_private'" <declanat_private> Subject: RIAA web site hacked -- again Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2002 13:23:16 -0400 Declan, I'm a subscriber to politech. I don't know if you saw that the RIAA's web site was hacked again this morning. I accessed the hacked version several times between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m., by 10:30 it was not accessible. I have a screen capture of the hacked home page that I could send you ... it is a large file, so I haven't included it. There was a press release linked to from the front page which said: * * * RIAA against music sharing? Not anymore! RIAA to sue music sharers? Not Anymore With the legal file sharing service kazaa still online, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) today announced that it intends to offer the latest albums for download from riaa.org. As you are probably aware, the RIAA has been pursuing a policy of preventing this activity in recent months We have recently become aware that this approach is yielding only limited results and in some cases may in fact be harming sales and the artists' revenue stream. The RIAA wishes to apologise for the heavy-handed manner in which the popular chinese site Listen4Ever was closed down, and would like to present the following items for free download as a token of its goodwill. Of course the list is relatively small, but please be patient - we expect to offer over 300 next week. We also intend to offer pre-released movies in the coming months. If what you want isn't on the list, then please try Kazaa Lite - available here # # # # Tracks available: 01-linkin_park-opening-ser.mp3 02-linkin_park-pts.of.athrty-jay_gordon-ser.mp3 03-linkin_park-enth_e_nd-kutmasta_kurt_feat_motion_man-ser.mp3 04-linkin_park-(chali)-ser.mp3 05-linkin_park-frgt-10-alchemist_feat_chali_2na-ser.mp3 06-linkin_park-p5hng_me_awy-mike_shinoda_feat_stephen_richards-ser.mp3 07-linkin_park-plc.4_mie_haed-amp_live_feat_zion-ser.mp3 08-linkin_park-x-ecutioner_style-feat_black_thought-ser.mp3 09-linkin_park-h_vltg3-evidence_feat_pharoahe_monch_and_dj_babu-ser.mp3 10-linkin_park-(riff_raff)-ser.mp3 11-linkin_park-wthyou-chairman_hahn_feat_aceyalone-ser.mp3 12-linkin_park-ntr-mssion-ser.mp3 13-linkin_park-pprkut-cheapshot_and_jubacca_feat_rasco_and_planet_asia-ser.mp3 14-linkin_park-rnwaty-backyard_bangers_feat_phoenix_orion-ser.mp3 15-linkin_park-mydsmbr-mickey_p._feat_kelli_ali-ser.mp3 16-linkin_park-(stef)-ser.mp3 17-linkin_park-by_myslf-josh_abraham_and_mike_shinoda-ser.mp3 18-linkin_park-kyur4_the_ich-chairman_hahn-ser.mp3 19-linkin_park-1stp_klosr-the_humble_brothers_feat_jonathan_davis-ser.mp3 20-linkin_park-krwlng-mike_shinoda_feat_aaron_lewis-ser.mp3 * * * My story on this (in Spanish) is here: <http://cnnenespanol.com/2002/tec/08/28/riaa.hacked/index.html>http://cnnenespanol.com/2002/tec/08/28/riaa.hacked/index.html Best regards José G.
