spyware adware.

i use ares
www.softgap.com

they should make the music average quality, i normally download alot of music and the bands i like i normally go out and buy allmost all of their albums so they couldnt complain that i am stealing from them as i have probably put about 500 dollers split 10 ways in various artists pockets because i tryed before i buyed, its a good way to market the product....

or atleast i belive it is, only talentless one hit wonder comercial artists who cannot produce deccent albums need be afraid... mp3 sharing programs have the potensiall to bring back real tallent to the music industry.....

thats what i think...

RIAA busts university students -- seeks $150k per song


RIAA has busted four individual university students in three different U.S. universities, claiming that they've distributed thousands of illegal MP3 files using their dorms' Net connections and P2P networks. RIAA is seeking for a very moderate compensation, mere $150,000 per distributed song, for damages.

Otherwise the cases are pretty clear, some of the students sued in this instance, were running Direct Connect P2P clients, distributing the MP3s over the DC network. But at least one of the students was running a search engine that would allow users to search shared files within the campus network, not a P2P client. And as far as we know, running a search engine -- whatever it happens to find -- is perfectly legal, otherwise Google would've been busted for a long time ago.

RIAA's take on the issue is obviously somewhat different: "Differences are irrelevant from a copyright perspective," said RIAA Senior Vice President Matt Oppenheim. "All of these are networks created for one purpose and are being used for infringement."

file-sharing is no different than a library.

Or me buying a book and lending it to my friend.

If it's high quality and you enjoy it, odds are you will purchase it.

KAZAA is the SHIZ_NIT i luv it my library is FULL i am a guru i luv it i luv it i luv it......

" In a recent home raid a man going by the name of 'Isis' had his computer confiscated after the FBI was informed it contained over 1000 illegally downloaded files from kazaa, Isis faces 20 years imprisonment"

I personally use kazaa Lite and WinMX. . I mostly download artists songs in order to see if they are any good b4 I buy the album. I buy more music now that I can listen to it before buying than I did when I didn't.

Hey Lakini!!! I am a woman!!! ya'll didnt KNOW that?? What fag would go by the name isis???

Hey Lakini!!! I am a woman!!! ya'll didnt KNOW that?? Posted by Isis

I kinda figured that. Isis is the name of an ancient Egyptian Goddess if I am not mistaken.

I'm sure its not the most appropriate thing for me to say, but KaZaA is an amazing program, and have used it actively since it very first came out. Sometimes you just can't find that music track in the stores, but someone is bound to have it on their PC.

Fair enough, its now a major package of ad and spyware, but if you want to make the most of it, get KaZaA Lite and make sure its the K++ version, by far the best "light" version!

Two words, Divx movies.

Yup I cant get enough of kazaa, with the latest KazaaLite (++) version you are ALWAYS a guru. (participation level 1000)

Although lately you hear more and more about people being sued because they are downloading movies and music too much.

Kazaa gives people the opperunity(spell) to discover new bands and music styles. Too bad most people download complete albums and never enter record shops anymore ....

Thanks to Kazaa I have a nice dvd collection that is somewhere around 300 dvds. I would have sex with kazaa if it were possible.

Zion where can I get the Kazaa where it is always 1000 participation?
