The RIAA has been HACKED.

I guess there's no proof it's a hack as such, but I think it's gotta be. Check it out:

 

RIAA Hack

 

It talks about the RIAA now being okay with distributing files over the net. It also provides links to MP3s you can download (all Linkin Park, I think).

It's hilarious. Of course, it may not stay up that long...

Not loading for me.

 

But funny thing is, the Screen Savers had a poll up on their site, and live on air - at the end of the show, they showed the results. The Question was, "What should be done about the RIAA" .. and 98% of the voters voted for "Hack Them" .. 1% voted for "Join Them, their right!" ... heh.

October, it's really just an "RIAA" release apologizing for their methods and offering downloads to a few songs.... too bad they're not any good (Linkin Park, ugh).

 

And I think it was on that same Screen Savers you mentioned, during the news portion, where it was theorized that this was a hacking.

 

But notice how the link listed by L2R ends in htm, while the rest of the pages on the RIAA site end in cfm. Why would the RIAA list a different page like that on their own site?

 

... Which makes me think that this was a hack.

Man, and they wasted their time on Linkin Park? For shame...

Oh, I see.

 

Very odd.
