There are clients that don't have spyware. My brother's kazaa even links to spybot and adawar IIRC. Also I can't disble it anymore by scanning with a lot of different programs. But these programs are hacked versions and thus illegal already.

The problem with this is that if you run Spybot or Adaware and remove the spyware, Kazaa, Morpheus, or whatever program you're using stops working (in most cases, I have an older copy of Kazaa that didn't freak when I zapped the spyware)

Of course, I downloaded more than just music files. I also downloaded several music videos (especially from the 80's) because I never got to watch MTV very much growing up (our local cable system didn't carry it). So I really enjoyed watching some of those videos I never got a chance to watch when they were new or "hot".

I don't know if there are any rules for that but that doesn't seem like a bad thing. Artists aren't selling those clips anyway and they're just for promotion. I don't know for old clips but a lot of the new ones can be found on the internet as well. In my case it takes a lot of searching but that's mainly to blame to what music I listen to.[/QUOTE]That's the point; many of these songs (and the vast majority of what I've downloaded in the past) is nearly impossible to obtain, especially the older music videos. In my experience, I've purchased very few CD's recently, (in the past 3 years) and the ones I have purchased have been ones I've listened to at least part of the album, if I don't find several songs (not just one or two singles) that I like, then I don't waste my money, or time, and I have found some really great bands through file sharing, like Reliant K "Christian Punk", very interesting stuff.
