Rabid Neurosis (RNS) was an MP3 warez release organization which was founded in 1996. In 1999, the group claimed to have released over 6,000 titles a year. RNS occasionally used the tagline "Rabid Neurosis - Spread The Epidemic." RNS were best known for releasing highly anticipated albums by hip-hop, pop, rock, and dance artists weeks and sometimes months before their official release date. RNS was sometimes believed to have started the mp3 scene. After their group was mentioned in an MTV News article about the early leak of the Eminem album "Encore", RNS stopped including their initials in filenames and ID3 tags.

On October 12, 1996, RNS released their first mp3 rip: Metallica's "Ride the Lightning". Their last was Fall Out Boy's "Infinity on High" on January 19 2007.
