11:06:02 Fake mp3 to discredit the p2p networks.
Run into a piece of music unlistenable quality in p2p networks is not so unusual, as well as find find files whose contents do not correspond at all to the artist and the title indicated in the name. But a bit 'of time are different episodes least doubt that can be found by downloading this type of files. Since it was released the new album of Eminem (The Eminem Show), which has spread like wildfire before it arrived in stores, on Audiogalaxy and Grokster, in fact, there are strange agglomerations of sound data. Some are made entirely of loops of the chorus, other alternate music 'holes' of silence. About half of the tracks have different content, and it should be noted that a similar case had occurred for the single anticipatissimo the same artist. Everything does, however, think of a strategy 'heavy' of Interscope, the label of Eminem, to discredit the peer-to-peer networks. First, the quality of these files is very respectable, as well as an article in the Los Angeles Times, who testified to label this practice. Already the Evolution Controlled Creations (EEC), a small label in search of fortune had put into practice this tactic long ago, spreading his tracks as if they were unreleased Nirvana, while Canadians Barenaked Ladies put around files with an intro of their nuvoi songs and then read by a commercial singer. It should be also noted that the MediaDefender , a company whose goal is to get paid to activate many simultaneous downloads a song, making it inaccessible. And the disguise fake songs with titles reliable is also openly encouraged by the RIAA, although in the long run this practice is far from winning, thanks to the progressive spread of other copies of shared files, a phenomenon which is really hard to stop.
