Overpeer Poisoning P2P on Behalf of Labels, RIAA
A stealth-mode company called OVERPEER has been flooding the p2p networks with fake Eminem files in an attempt to stop the trading of "unauthorized" mp3s. If you've encountered the "loop" files, in which a section of the chorus or hook is repeated over and over, you've been tricked by
OVERPEER.
OVERPEER are doing this with the full knowlege and consent of Interscope and Universal Music, in fact they are under contract to Universal and other
major record labels, and will be doing a LOT MORE of this type of "interdiction" in the near future.
OVERPEER are an interesting firm, their CEO used to be a VP at ASCAP, the big American performing-rights organization, so he's majorly connected
to the top levels of the U.S. music business. His father has been on the ASCAP board of directors for decades. Strangely, the company was actually
started and funded by a Korean conglomerate called SK Industries.
SK Industries are the second-largest corporation in Korea, a firm with many energy and IT infrastructure holdings. In fact they were partners with
Enron! They have tons of money, and they're not going to quit, give up, or go away.
OVERPEER's mission is to kill p2p by poisoning the networks with fake, bogus files. They hope to discourage users away from Gnutella, KaZaA and
other free networks, and drive everyone to the industry-approved Pressplay and MusicNet services. For more on OVERPEER, visit

If you don't agree with OVERPEER's mission to destroy p2p,
let them know! Their headquarters are at:
110 E. 55th Street, 14th Fl. New York, NY 10022 TEL: 212-906-8143 FAX: 212-906-8149
TELL THESE GREEDY FUCKERS THAT YOU DO NOT APPROVE! P2P SHOULD BE FREE!
