Rabid Neurosis (RNS) was an MP3 warez release organization which was founded in 1996. In 1999, the group claimed to have ripped and released over 6,000 titles. The founder of RNS was a person using the alias "Al Capone". RNS occasionally used the tagline "Rabid Neurosis - Spread The Epidemic." They were famous for getting highly anticipated albums by Hip-Hop, Pop, Rock, and Dance artists weeks and sometimes months before release. RNS was widely believed to have started the mp3 scene. After their group initials were mentioned in an MTV News article about the early spread of the Eminem album Encore, RNS ceased to include their initials in their filenames and ID3 tags. RNS's first release was on October 12, 1996, Metallica's Ride the Lightning, and their last was Fall Out Boy's Infinity on High on January 19, 2007, which came with the following message in the .nfo:
