wait. are they implying, in public, that the RIAA are responsible for this illegal act of piracy? there is something very wrong about that, and if it is true, then why is the "hacked" page still online?

I belive that the entire thing was a joke staged by the guys behind XMMS while they're migrating to a new server (which is taking them a mighty while).

Would they really make that their topic and not fix it if it was _really_ hacked?

Thought so.

and if you hadnt bothered to read the page you could see that there is still links to XMMS and it says "site is offline while moving to new grounds"

moving this thread to applications...

I'm still suspicious.  The ugly stuff is gone, and yes it does say site is offline until a new host is set up (taking forever) but they still offer downloads and no explanation of the ugly stuff.... makes me wonder if the downloads are safe or have been trojaned.

MoR and Quirk, yes, that's what i was saying. Read between the lines.

i was saying it hasn't been hacked or it wouldn't still be functional.

that's another thing on these damn forums that pisses me off, nobody knows how to detect sarcasm or humour, no offence intended to anybody in particular, it just seems to happen a lot here for some reason.

There is no sarcasm in programming languages, this may be the problem.  ;)
