Is this what you are talking about LordK?

DO NOT post links to 'warez sites'. Do not discuss pirating games, bragging about pirating or anything else. This will get your account suspended or banned. The only possible thing you CAN discuss is the so-called 'cracks' for no CD operation. SOME Games don't work on some peoples CD-ROM's. This is because of a special copy protection called 'Safe Disc'. But that is it. Anything else is considered pirating.

As andrewas said p2p programs are as legal as your browser is. If anyone would start to brag about the things mentioned in the ToS you can probably rest assured that several people would jump on them at once.

direct connect rocks for some things, as does edonkey....

kazaa is good for common stuff....

Enjoy your piracy while you can. The industry that took down Napster is still at large and targeting... Morpheus is up to bat soon, I believe.

Me, I just *buy* the CD's I want to hear and games I want to play. Or turn on the radio. Is that so novel? To all of you who use these, I'd like to say YOU'RE WELCOME, since my higher price tag is due in part to your piracy.

we are not specifically targeting piracy in this conversation. we are talking about a legal program of p2p. unless stated otherwise (like downloading mp3 and such.) im using kaza now. no prob and they have actually improved since they have faster donwloading and i was able to find some things needed for my computer.

Hmm should I bring up a troll sign? [img]tongue.gif[/img] Using p2p software does not equal piracy Timber. You know that as well as the rest of us don´t you?

[Timber Loftis]

Actually, I'm not very up on it at all, Willow. What exactly do you mean by p2p software? Software that lets one CPU view another. Sorry .... I really am not trolling, but am uninformed.

Now, if you are telling me that Morpheus exists for some reason other than letting people swap copyrighted or licensed material or hacks for such material, I must say I am dubious. Which is why they're coming under fire from the lawyers.

Surely this is in breach of TOS!! Where are the moderators! This will increase loss of income for artists, producers and those who work to create the music you love.

Can we please not have threads directing people to programs that steal music please.

Andrewas can probably explain it better than me but your computer acts as both a client and a server. Now I agree that most people use this kind of software to download copyrighted material. But downloading copyrighted material is not illegal in all countries. Sharing is though. My hubby uses direct connect, I assume it´s called that since lethoso typed that, to get game patches and freeware (download speed about 1-2Mb/s instead of 10-500kB/s from the internet). You see the possibilities? And since he is in the computer software business I can tell you he sends out a lot of angry PMs a day.

What if he IS NOT downloading music then? No, that can´t be. Any person who uses file sharing software must be a thief.
