XXAA (XX = MP or RI take your pick) seems to be at 64.15.XXX.XXX has a large block of IP addresses and a whole bunch of machines set up with Gnuc Morph, Limewire.
I assume it's their back up plan in case their lawsuit fails then it's time to track down each and every user.
Every time you try to get a file from these servers you get a HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error even though it advertises it has the file. If your client doesn't show this, you don't notice and think everything is ok.
YOU HAVE BEEN LOGGED!
What can we do about this? Is this SPAM? Are they wasting our bandwidth?
What would be wrong with requesting every mp3 file name out there from this server? Wouldn't that make a log file inaccurate? Which file did you really download if any? How can they tell?
What if you downloaded a lot of MP3's and then deleted them? Wouldn't the log show all those files? But you don't have them, must have downloaded them in error, oops!
Any other thoughts?

I don't care. This forum is about Gnutella and not about comitting crimes. Personally I don't like the marketing strategies of the MPAA and RIAA but that's another topic.

IT IS A WAY THAT SOMEONE IS USEING TO KEEP TRACK US ON THE INTERNET YAHOO GROUPS IS DOING THE SAME THATS WHY OF LATE THEY HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR E-MAIL ADDRESSES THEY CAN SEND BACK TO RIGHT ON SINEUP TO A ON LINE GROUP THEY GET A COPY OF THE SAME FILE YOU DO THIS COULD WELL BE SOMETHING TIED TO LAWINFORCEMINT PLAINS PUT IN AFTER 9/11 FOR TRACKING PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY ARE NOT TALKING TO ANYONE ABOUT

If you want privacy, use PGP like I do, use DriveCrypt like I do
and dont mess it up.

Those IP addresses probably belong to Media Defender. They've been spamming the Gnutella Network for a while now.

bad idea. depending on whos prosecuting you, you can be charged (not sure of the specific.. everyone knows the US legal system -- they'll getcha some how) if you do not disclose your password/passphrase. the only case i've heard of it happening was to kevin mitnick.
