online music downloads

someone give me the scoop on this...is it still alright to download music on kazzaa, etc?

i dont care about lawsuits and all that jazz...i care about getting viruses and being hacked, etc.

what's up in the downloading world?

someone must know.

personally i am not frightened by viruses or
hackers.... nor propaganda....

so DL what you want... where you want....

yeah but you ARE one of the hackers.

you know how to defend against the others out there that are just like yourself.

i'm not THAT literate....

but i'm certainly not going to surround myself
with a wall that gives me much in the way of
mental security and less in the way of real security.

here....

you are guilty until you find a lawyer that
can arrange you the chance to switch to:

guilty until proven innocent


... if your lucky

soulseek is better for music shit than kazaa usually

i dont even understand what the RIAA(whatever its called) is trying to do.,.,.they are gonna try to stop people from downloading songs, bc its hurting record sales, maybe if half these bands today could put out a decent cd there wouldnt even be this problem.,.,.

they are spending more on lawyer fees, etc than they will ever make back with "increased" album sales.

okay... kazaa itself has annoying stuff in it, i prefer kazaa lite. the spy-ware free version.
Next to that, and ..uuhmm... hacking through kazaa lite is nigh impossible.
Virusses..well.. they can get on, but you can't infect music of video files, only files that get 'executed', like a program, or a script can contain a virus.
So it's not that dangerous. i just don't like kazaa that much.

yes, i have kazaa lite.

*pats head*

Just as long as you don't click the 'yes' when the update dialog appears when you use kazaa lite, things are a-okay, as far as they can be with kazaa.
Ehm... just wondering.. how is it with crimes in the us? Are you guilty untill proven innocent? Or innocent untill proven guilty, like here?

Remember audiogalaxy? Now that was a kick-ass way to find shared music. I loved that programme :|
Nowadays, i use DC++, it's more of a community thing, where you don't share with the world, but with a 'hub' you login too.

yeah i hope they dont plan on making any money back off of this, because i havent purchased a CD in almost 2 yrs, and i dont plan on buyin one anytime soon, the bastards can come to my house and delete like 322424242songs if they really find the need to do that, but ill just go n re-download them

first, it is possible to get viruses into videos and images.. (i have never seen it done in audio files though)

also, you can thank me TG, that was the same information I gave you a while back while you were running that rancid version of Kazaa.....Kazaa lite is the way to go for now. I have heard rumors that Napster is coming back for a very minimal fee but of course it will probably be like the other donwloadable software available right now....very very sucky and very limited to what is out there.

the problem i have run into with p2p as of late is all the idiots out there that don't know how to get correct information, especially on music files...for example, i found out a while back that Keeper of the stars was actually song by about 10 different male country artists including tim mcgraw, travis tritt and kenny chesney.

it is getting more and more difficult to find what you want the easy way....
