Andii, it is one of the last safe free downloads out there. If we get enough of us on there, then it should be all cool for everybody, and no risk of getting in trouble from the LAW. Luca and I spent one hell of a long time chatting it up the one night, and if you know me and chatrooms, you know that is saying alot about it. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

In Canada it's legal to download, but Illegal to upload??? I thought this was kind of bizarre. I saw some guy post this on newsgroup that made good sense.

----------------------------------------

I think it is very logical and fair towards the internet users. This is the direction all countries should take.

If you share files, you know if they would be illegal.
But if I download music, there is no way for me to tell if that piece of music is illegal or not. It could be something released to public domain by the author or perhaps an advertising mix for a new album. You download stuff in good faith. (I know none of you reading this download music off the net in good faith but there are plenty of people who do and there is a legal concept called presumption of innocence)

If you buy a CD from a store, you do not ask the owner to show you the shipping papers and the licence to sell you this piece of music just to make sure you don't get arrested after exiting the shop.

Better example:
If you are in a shop (christmas shopping and all) you are listening to the music. But how do you know the storeowner has paid for the right to play you this music. How would you feel if you got arrested for listening to pirated music?

It's a transfer site, kind of like Kazzaa or bit torrent and Napster, but without the BS adware problems. Nice little site/program.

very easy to use,i may add.
u just have to download the client from slsknet.org and install it. then choose a nick and a password and click connect.
u can also join or create chatrooms or send/receive pm instantly.
u can also decide whether to show your files to everyone or only to the users in your friendslist.
very useful:not perfect but a nice software
