For those of you who download music

I heard about the "fake" Kazaa lite that the RIAA used to catch people or whatever and I recently got an email that made me a bit suspicious, so I thought I'd put it up to give everyone a heads up to look out for it:

--For a very limited time you've qualified to receive our new Kazaa Gold music downloading software.
Kazaa Gold will is the world famous software for downloading free music by all your favorite
artists. Kazaa Gold gives you immediate access to millions of songs that you can download at no cost. You
can than burn this music on to CDs that can be played in your car or wherever.

Kazaa Gold also gives you the following...

- Unlimited DVD movie downloads.
- The fastest MP3 music downloads on the internet.
- Instant access to full version software and video games.

**If you download Kazaa Gold software today you also get additional software to download and copy
DVD movies to a standard CD-R disc with only a CD burner.**

Please click on this link get Kazaa Gold now:
(EDIT: I removed the link)

Thank you--

I didn't bother to click on the link, because supposedly offering legal copies of full length dvds, music, and software at no cost seemed a little weird to me. Just a heads up.

I doubt it's the RIAA, that could be considered fraud or entrapment or something. Not a lawyer, but they couldn't do something like that. It's most likely some sort of porn scheme, or maybe some Nigerian fraudsters, or just a simple old virus. Either way, it's obviously designed to pull in suckers who don't know any better (DVD's on a CD!)

That's not even possible is it?

Yes. You can encode DVD movies, and put them on CD-R's, and play them on DVD players.
