Aimster Pig Encoder: “As of Sunday March 4, 2001, at midnight, Napster began monitoring the file names that its
users put into the Napster database, for the purpose of blocking certain file names. This is a
serious invasion of your privacy as a Napster user. The file names on your hard drive are
your personal property and should not be monitored by anyone without your permission.
The Aimster Pig Encoder makes it more difficult for anyone to monitor the file names on
your computer. The Aimster Pig Encoder is very simple but effective. It takes each of the file names of the
mp3 files in your Napster directory and encodes the file names so that the name cannot be
easily monitored.”
