damn these a-holes.
as its already been said, they'll never stop P2P....y;know, the money they've lost (if any) is jsut the money they spend on all these 'prevention' technologies.
I know for definate, if my band hit the big time, im putting all the files on the net myself. That way, if anyone is sued, i, the artist,can say 'erm...no. i put them up so ppl could listen to our music, and if they like it, they'll go out and buy it most likely, or at eleast support us in any other way.'
The music industry needs to adapt and fast. It feels lately like its coming to a headstone on P2P or the RIAA, everyone's on last resorts and P2P will evidently win because of the smart people behind it (yes, thats as opposed to the RIAA where-in absolute 'dribblers' sit and devise schemes.)

I don't get why you guys are so pumped up about this. Sooner or later it was going to come to this. It will be defeated and tossed out just like the other "Anti-P2P technology".

I agree with you Lucky_d - the site looks like little more than one of the TV scams you have to stay up late at night to see.

The site may look like a scam site but the simple fact that they are backed by BMG Finland should be enough to tell you that they canat least do "some2 of what they claim!

I really can't believe that they're still trying to stomp out all P2P.
I mean, sure, they might be able to stop a part of it for a month or two, but after that, somebody will think of someway new to transfer files. If these stupid companies were the least bit smart (if that makes any sense), they would just give up!

Nah they are smart,man. I'd do the same thing if i were them. Keep telling companies like BMG that i have the solution, and get paid. Even though i know that what i'm saying is BS.

99% It would be interesting to see this happen. The entertainment industry hasn't made a dent thus far.

Just an opinion.....
Who in their right mind would create a trading name that sounds like one of those creams some women use? I suppose it would have been trendy in the 1070's like the logo.
Such talk of "revenge" sounds very psychotic ..... Take two aspirins and see me in the morning.

This is laughable. Anyone who spends any kind of energy on P2P networks know very simple steps to weed out corrupted files. In WinMx it's a simple matter of searching for alternate downloads of the same file, and then going with the most consistent. Usually once a file is downloaded, i tend to review them. If i find any corrupt or mis-identified files, i make a note of it and post it on one of the chats. Renaming that same file and with an identifier that it's bogus is also helpful. Soon enough the file will be kicked from the system. Whatever, i agree with a prior post that the hackers network probably have already come up with viable solutions. The internet is indeed alive and well. Open Source Rocks!

Personally, I think this Vaginarag will be hated
by mostly, maybe just *everyone in the world*. Y'know, except those 'rich peeps' in the 'big corps'.
...
Anyway, the service won't work. Done.

I'm hoping Lucky_D is right.
"...one of those classic scam companies, that simply targets the industry rather than people."
Sell the SOBs a (very high priced) vaporware solution to their "problem". Now THAT would be great.

And, why would anybody name their company VIRAL-G? :D

These guys are f*cking retarded. Don't they get it? In the end, warez/pirated software/illegal music lives on. No matter what kind of advanced crap you invent, someone...some hacker...or some genius is going to figure out a way to get past it. They're just delaying the inevitable.

GO VAPORWARE! I'd like to know how they can possibly claim 99%... Probably their deranged belief that people actually KEEP and continue to share corrupted material... Bring it on boys, it'll be interesting to see how their shares perform when they don't live up to their extravagant claims...

It is good to see such great claims of arrogance from people like Viralg I did not go to school to be fkup by these people I happen to be from a what u call 3rd world country and the education system there is 10 times better than many of these so called 1st world leader countries We the kids of the third world have alesson or 2 for them keep trying we are also working on our own p2p situation the RIAA and there cronies are just what has csed the war in Iraq

they are not retarted. They know that they will never be able to stop it. They say 99% because they cant legally say 100%. They havent started becuase they are waiting for the record companies to pay them millions of dollars too do this. The record companies hear all this and think "hey this sounds technical and it might work, lets pay them". Maybe it will work but it will be cracked and then they can make another program and make another million. I wish i was as smart as them. They will wake a few million easy, and then once its cracked, they make a new program and it keeps going.... circle of life

"Their "overwrite" technology apparently can mix-up and corrupt files on P2P networks. Similar services make the same claims but all they really do is spread corrupt files around the network," Nothing new here, Microsoft have been mixing and corrupting my files for years, usually when i am not attempting to share them.
havent these sad bastards anything better to do than threaten young people online ? These people are no better than virus writers and deserve all they get!

If you subscribe to Rhapsody, Napster, Musicmatch or anything else you can use Replay Music to record from your sound card and it automatically tags and starts and stops the recording. In other words your DRM files are turned to Mp3's with no protection. Set the bitrate to 192 or better for best quality.
Another thing is that LimeWire is getting better at stopping corrupted files. Get LimeWire pro and you have a client that beats the snot out of the old Kazaa even when it was in its hey day. I've Downloaded tons of content and I tell you along side of Peer Guardian you can't be beat. This is all articles to try and get you to avoid p2p. Naah I still get the content I want.

How Long will it be before these people realise that p2p networking can't be stopped? the internet has opened a can of worms. we can get all our music, pictures, software and films for free. how many hackers must there be in the world and computer wizards. all copyrighted material has been cracked by them thus and will always will. there is no software ever been created that is uncrackable and there never will. so gud luck to 'viralg' cuz ther guna need it haha
