[HOT] programmatore di XMULE denunciato dalla RIAA

Un-thesis e` il nick del programmatore di xMule (versione Linux di eMule), denunciato oggi dalla RIAA ke finira` sotto processo x via del suo programma...

Ricordo x chi non lo sapesse che la RIAA dopo mesi di minacce ha dichiarato recentemente che sta x passare all'azione ossia denuncie a raffica, nel mirino ci sono anche e soprattutto gli sharatori (in america una societa` che volesse denunciare qualcuno conoscendo l'IP, puo` ottenere direttamente i dati anagrafici della persona dal provider, che e` obbligato a collaborare.)

Diffondete la news, e` importante che tutti sappiano x aumentare la
mobilitazione che sicuramente ci sara` in difesa di Un-Thesis (ricordate
il caso di Sklyarov contro Adobe..).

E' una cosa che mi fa veramente inka**are. Posto il messaggio, non si sa mai.

Apparently I have been subpoenad, personally, on 8-17-2003 by an as-yet unknown entity under the DMCA clause, because of xmule, when it went on to gov'ment radar w/ the e-matters.de alert :P The subpoena lasts, suposedly, until Dec 6, when i must stand infrotn of a federal appellet court

100% of My job is online
100% of My school is online
100% of My friends are online
100% of My hobbies are online

and if i can't use a comptuer at all, they might as well put me in a federal
prison taht allows me to read and purchase any book i want...

As of 7:43AM MST (-7 UTC) my personal internet connection was shut down due to "unacceptable use". It took me 6 hours to finally contact my ISP customer support, a local cable modem provider, because they were swamped with MSBLASTER calls.

I was redirected to a 1800 number who redirected me to some other number, etc, until i finally reached a federal clerk's office in Washington, D.C. who informed me that it *seems* as though I have been personally subpaened by the USA Gov'ment on behalf of the RIAA. They told me that they were limited in their search for information due to the late hour (8PM EDT (-4 UTC)), but that the prosecuting body that issued under hte auspicies of the DMCA and NOT in the same category as the other 8,000+ copyright violation affidavits issued by the RIAA in recent months.

Additional bad news: xmule.org has reached 90% of its allocated monthly bandwidth. It is the 19th. I am very incapable of rectifying this decision w/out knowledgeable outside assistance in the United States (due to telephone communication required). If you can help me set up the other webserver, please contact me at 520-296-3408.

Unless DRASTIC action is taken within the next 48 hours, or my internet connection is restored, xmule.org forums will be permanently shut down until the bandwidth issue can be resolved.

Supposedly, the subpaena was filed on 8-17-2003. For those that know, the e-matters.de published xmule ni its security bulletin, thus, probably, raising us to teh level of teh RIAA's notice for the first time. Since I am the only american developer, and since i am really the only main developer, it seems they struck at the source.

I have not received written or otherwise announcement of the subpaena, and i still do not know the ramifications of my injunction. I may be able to use dialup or even DSL, cable is certainly out, or I may be completely barred form teh internet (this message might be illegal)

At this point i *know* i will need to hire a civil rights attorney, and if I am not liable to a prison sentence, then I might be able to leave the United States to either Mexico or Canada, at which point i will also need money to relocate...So any donations are greatly appreciated. PLEASE use the Amazon donation box, since it requires no online access by me, while paypal erquires a connectino.

I wont' know what my options are until some time tomorrow or later. Development of xMule seems to be the most likely target of me, since I have downloaded very little copyrighted material over the last, o, 6 months. I figured that before i found out i was banned completely from the internet i would send this mesasge...

Keep it real...weclome to the Fourth Reich of Amerika.

Praticamente pero' non l'han denunciato per il programma, ma per pirateria.
Cmq ho aperto un thread in web
http://forum.hwupgrade.it/showthread...94#post1951094
