I believe six strikes were the rule in baseball until 1923, which is coincidentally the latest year you can freely use content from. That first part isn't true.

Looks like I'm going to spend this year listening to rips of wax cylinders!
I have all my music divided into two folders: a shared folder filled with all the stuff I've legally downloaded for free off the internet, and a non-shared folder full of stuff I've either purchased legally or downloaded via p2p. I've never received any complaints from other p2p users about the fact that I don't share much in the way of commercially available material (the shared folder is about 50GB), and people download what I do make available all the time in spite of most of it being easily and freely available without p2p.
Will this still possibly trigger CAS warnings? There are certainly many gray areas involved: tracks that were initially given away freely but have since been commercialized, DJ mixes featuring copyrighted material, rap mixtapes with industry beats, tracks with uncleared samples. Even if none of those factors were at play, would the very fact that I share music at all be likely to trigger such a warning?

Luckily, I have a huge backlog of "unconventionally procured material" (the bulk of it commercially unavailable) to work through while I wait for tech-minded people to figure out a user-friendly workaround to this newest hassle.

so if I were to download a bunch of out-of-print limited release stuff on soulseek would that trigger this?

Private trackers, VPN, encrypted torrent traffic, local ISPs.

true. I've been expecting all of these blogs to be snuffed ever since they first appeared, but they ended up running for a long time. The rest of them will likely also fall soon.

The first person to challenge a file-sharing lawsuit brought by the Recording Industry Association of America has reached the end of the line.Without comment, the Supreme Court refused to hear Jammie Thomas-Rasset's appeal, which means the $222,000 verdict against her stands.Thomas-Rasset was convicted of sharing 24 songs on the peer-to-peer service Kazaa. She was arguing that the amount in question was excessive.

I could be wrong, but I think she got slammed because she originally refused to settle for a couple of grand, no? And unfortunately the law as written is pretty black and white, even though downloading is full of grays.
Anyway, good to know the industry is finally on this after decades of irreparably fucking itself over. Hot tip to the RIAA: you might want to keep an eye on China and the rest of Asia, but good luck on the enforcement front.

Confused by something. Sometimes at work, it's convenient for me to listen to a full album off YouTube. Like right now--freezing-rain day, no kids. I went to listen to Blonde on Blonde, and it's been taken down because of copyright. Tried the Byrds, and there are a number of albums still up. I'm listening to Mr. Tambourine Man right now.
Same company, same vintage. Is the only difference that Dylan (or his lawyers) are more aggresive in monitoring this kind of thing?

I'm in Canada, and we don't have it. It's just a spur of the moment thing with me anyway, and if YouTube doesn't have one thing, they'll always have something else I'm just as happy to listen to. When I'm at home, I just use the funny-looking machine that goes round and round.

someone's doing it! dylan seems to be extra vigilant on youtube -- it must be something the artist polices, rather than the label? or something the artist requests of the label.you can find a bunch of dylan bootleggy stuff on youtube by searching for blind boy grunt or elston gunn...
