AllofMp3 Sued for $1.65 Trillion by RIAA

I haven’t been able to find information on the largest lawsuit in history but I’m sure this one is right up at the top. The RIAA (yes, I was just as shocked as you) is suing the website AllofMP3.com on behalf of EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music, and Warner Music in the amount of $150,000 for each of the 11 million songs that were downloaded from June to October of 2006. That comes to a lawsuit totaling $1.65 trillion!

And here’s what Paul Stamatiou said about this based on his personal opinion and his friend experience regarding the same copyright problem his friend had before :

Personally I think the $1.65 trillion is just a number to scare AllofMP3 and the case will likely be settled out of court for much less. Consider typical RIAA cases against pirates. A friend of mine was sued by the RIAA for 3 songs at ~$3,500 each and he ended up settling for something less than $4000 total.

And the conclusion is, it’d be best for you to stay away from making mp3 download site (if you don’t want to end up being sued by RIAA), because any four digit US Dollars means a lot for some people (including me)

Bypassing Megaupload Restriction

Just in case you didn't know that if you're from a small country like me and like to download something from Megaupload, you'll always get a message saying that "All download slots (100) assigned to your country (insert your country name here) are in use" which is really annoying, and although you've been waiting for a long time that message would still appear .. but that problem can be solved easily only by using cgi proxy, and you can do it easily without changing anything in your browser configuration. And a recommended CGI proxy, that im using to download from Megaupload is this one ... and with a large number of proxy to use on that site, there's no need to worry that you still can't get access to download your favorite file from the Megaupload server, simple isn't it ?

as a side note, if you read my previous article about using squid with JAP .. you can also bypass megaupload restriction easily and beside you can restrict the use of that proxy only for Megaupload site (although i didnt explain that part very clearly) ... and that's what i always doing
