ok, since tommorow at this time i'll be deprived of any internet connection for about a month and a half i couldn't wait any longer on replies concerning this topic to start submitting the bitprints of the files in question to bitzi database. however, prior to that i went through the whole thing once more. when the unknown application is launched nothing (at least nothing noticable) happens no matter how long you keep it running. when i close the application my browser is launched displaying page with big red "warning" header and a message: "Your activities have been logged." and a table underneath it specifying system time, browser, isp, hostname, place of origin, operating system, ip address, latitude/longitude, abuse contact and some detailed information on environment variables. none of this information is on me, but on somebody else. after this information the same page offers me big green "solution". "Get Google Pack. Protect your privacy." Although some pretty cheesey "info" on the importance of keeping your privacy private follows it seems as a genuine google offer and links offered do lead to google's download page.

concerning all the above, i took the liberty to rate all these files with dangerous/misleading (with following comment: "can't play file. asked to obtain license. launches an application. nothing to do with "license"."). if my rating is somehow wrong the files are still incomplete at best or completely fake so i believe not much damage is done.

anyway, i'm still lively interested in your experiences / opinions on my 2 questions from the first post. but i must apologize in advance for not being able to read or reply anything posted later than tommorow around 4 p.m.

p.s. sorry for this two looooong posts. it could have been said shorter and much more concise. i'm not a native english speaker and besides never had this kind of experience when downloading fucking mp3 files. thanx for your patience.
