this is how the riaa responds to those who try to please them and work with them. regardless of anything implied or inferred the lesson is simple: the riaa appears to have no intentions whatsoever of co-existing with anything that competes with the distribution business of their clients; the labels and artists. as ag should've known. as they know now beyond a doubt. p2p filters are pointless. like shoutcast blocking web radio streamripping is pointless. it's your business or the riaas'. it won't be both. that could not be more clear and reason enough why they're considered a tumor on the internet.

AG has been the prime target for some time now. They are the only sharing service headquartered in the US, and they do not have funds to fight this suit in court. Unfortunately, they are the only service I've used with a significant amount of rare tracks on it, and their groups function was a killer service to users trying to expand their music experience. Hopefully a newer, better app will come when AG falls....

I'm suprised it took this long I predict this will be a very fast case and AudioGalaxy will not win and kick much less than Napster.
The filtering may have bought them some time but it was little more than a slap in the face to redirect users to others services that offered filtered files AudioGalaxy clearly knows who has what files Thats flubbing "defeat the RIAA rule # 1." Kinda old news now but it just made headline news "cnn" this morning |

I am trying to be optimistic about the whole thing. I feel confident that more programs will show up with AG-like features. I know there is definitely a market for rare, bootlegged, and strange music... case in point, my group Moog Spaceport, which offers only old synthesizer music, has around 70 members. Not a lot to be sure, but a good example of how not everyone is looking for Pink Floyd, Eminem, and Shania Twain. I wish there was a way to deepen your searches on gnutella-based clients... I know the music I like is out there, it's just a matter of finding it before searches time-out. Anyway, the Napster-inspired revolution lives on, and I'm sure that something better will come along!
