Awesome! Especially because this link is embedded in the page: http://www.20min.ch/tooldata/sound/540.mp3
Glad you knew that cos I didn't. It seems rather high quality as well!:mosh:
Yeah, it's a 192kpbs mp3. I'm at work so I can't really turn it up and listen for the subtleties, but it sounds pretty good from what I hear.

Here it is guys!
I'm gettting a "the file link you requested is invalid" message. Has it been deleted already?

Won't work for me.. Anyone know why?
Using Firefox, it told me I had to install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin, which didn't work because I'm using Windows Server 2003. It worked fine in Internet Explorer, though.

Our local hard rock station in Madison, WI (http://www.wjjo.com/) has it listed on their web page, too.

yeah i get that part but he streamed the audio...not offered it for download...so isnt that the same as a radio station playing leaks? they get issues a cease and desist then if they dont comply then the shit hits the fan
I think that's really his only line of defense. The problem is that often the judges and juries have little understanding of the technological details of these cases. I mean, imagine trying to explain to your mom the difference between posting a download link for an mp3 and posting a streaming link for an mp3 which downloads to a temporary cache file in your computer, and can easily be captured by various plugins and techniques.
Also, the songs weren't playing as part of a continuous stream like a web radio station, you clicked to play them in an embedded player, right? Again, this may be a small detail, but the jury may be completely clueless as to understanding the difference.

yes
http://www.waaf.com/ is playing it tomorrow
The WAAF page has a scrolling thing that says "Hear the new G'n'R @ the top of every hour tomorrow starting at 6am." Plus there's a "listen live" button, too.
#218 Re: Guns N' Roses » Fernando vs Mysteron » 876 weeks ago
There's no way that I can go back and grab quotes and search for posts SIX YEARS back, to give you the shit you need on Mysteron.
You can read back through Mysteron's posts here: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/boar … ts;start=0 going back to 2003.
#219 Re: Guns N' Roses » Alleged Guns N' Roses Leaker Pleads Innocent » 876 weeks ago
but how was he to know who intellectual property it was? its never been released by anybody
he guessed guns n roses...he coulda been wrong
How can they be illegal to post if they're not copyrighter (which they weren't at the time). Let's be honest here, GN'R has a long history of denying these leaks as legit, and more often than not, the fans couldn't agree if songs were legit or not. This is the Feds trying to make an example of one person and I don't think it will hold up. The thousands of people who have been sued over sharing Mp3s often settle for a few grand in damages. Since this guy had no way of knowing for certain that these songs were even legit GN'R songs and they weren't copyrighted at that time, I think they're going to have a hard time charging him with copyright.
He claimed right on his blog that they were final mastered versions from Chinese Democracy (which as it turns out was incorrect) but I doubt if that will matter to the court. And just because these versions are rough mixes doesn't mean that there's no copyright on them, either. The recording artist and/or record company owns the copyright whether they're sloppy four track demos or full finished master recordings.
Still, I wish the guy luck and I hope he doesn't get stuck in jail for five years. I could hear the conversation now:
Cogill: So, what are you guys in for?
Thug #1: I got caught dealing crack to school kids.
Thug #2: I got busted for stealling Cadillacs.
Thug #3: I ran over a family while I was driving drunk. How about you?
Cogill: I put some unreleased GNR songs on my web page.
Thug #1: Damn, that shit is hardcore! We were gonna rape you in the shower later, but now we better leave your ass alone!

Ugh, looks like a bad fan-made cover. If someone had claimed to be an insider and leaked this a few months ago I would have cried "bullshit!" Hopefully the other two will be better.
And granted, I know the cover has no effect on how I enjoy the music inside, but a cheap looking cover could affect album sales.
