Napster funnies

[andysocial]

Here's a great way to circumvent the insipid file filter threatened by Napster. It just renames all your MP3 files into Pig Latin. Even better, it's illegal under the DMCA (same blunt object the RIAA hides behind) to reverse-engineer it. Gotta love subversives.

And, an OpenNap server may be starting up at Sealand, using HavenCo's servers to circumvent the DMCA by hosting on a sovereign site. Yep, the RIAA really should have taken the money that Napster offered...

Apologies to anyone who actually reads /. and my journal. :-)

The Sealand story appears to have been removed.

After getting this reply, I hit the link and did a refresh, and it's still working for me (on Earthlink). Maybe the evil RIAA has eaten your ISP. hehe

I figured it wouldn't take to long for someone to find a way around all this garbage. I am, however, a bit surprised at how fast they were. Have you tried this yet?
