they can't arrest everyone. if everyone uploaded, how long do you think it would be considered a crime for? not long, if the governments want to stay in power. unfortunately, we're at a point where there's enough people sharing to not be ignored, but not enough to offer true opposition to the fecktards in charge.

I have a question now. I recently bought an MP3 player. I bought the 2-year warranty with it. It covers things like the screen fading, viruses, and stuff like that. I'm pretty sure that if I upload Limewire songs, the warranty becomes void. If my MP3 player ever breaks, how do I prevent them from finding out about the Limewire songs?

no00one, or whoever you spell that,
How would they find out you uploaded limewire songs? Second, P2P can be used for legal services, for instance, I write my own song, and I own it, but I want to let other people use it for free, or I just want to send a file like text or something to one of my friends. This isn't how it's used mainly, but that's the basic argument, so downloading isn't illegal, but 90% of P2P activity is illegal. What your saying is on the right track though, and this is why some countries are shutting down P2P. If something is mainly being used for illegal activity, it usually gets shut down, but this is harder to do because it's the internet.

Surely it's OK to download copyrghted material for your own use, so long as your not making 100 pirate CD copies at a time and then selling them on to other people for profit? Also p2p is not dead even though the official crimes agaist piracy idiots are trying to shut down all the p2p file sharing networks like, for example, kazza-lite. But, as the old sayng goes"Dont let the bastards grind you down." because there are web alternatives.
For example, as a starting point, http//www.phazeddl.com which is basically the Google of filesharing. Tap in the software title into the search box, results for your chosen file come up and it will thake you to another filesharing site, of which there are many, with your chosen file and download then download it. Sites like, Warez4ever, www.url1.biz, to name but a few.
All of these sites even the two I've mentioned are all forum based so,unlike Limewire or Kazaa-Lite, you can send feedback if you have any problems or you want any help. And yes all the software on these sites are the full versions and are uploded as .rar volume files which are uploded onto filesharing sever sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, to name but a few.
What I mean by this is that it's 1 .rar file split into several smaller fles. In other words, for example, DIVXpart1.rar, DIVXpart2.rar and so on. Then just click on part 1, tap in the pasword when prompted, make a folder you want the files to go into and then let Winrar do the rest.
So it's worth checking these filesharing forum sites out. All these sites require registration but the regitration is free! Oh and one more thing, the .rar files are,unless otherwise stated, password protected but the password is at the bottom of the file list.

That all depends on what country you live in. In Canada, for example, it is legal to download copyrighted material for personal use (albeit uploading is still illegal). In the United States, however, it is illegal to share (download & upload) any type of copyrighted material. Although, it's fair to note that you probably won't get caught for leeching (downloading without uploading).

If you are sensible, then there is absolutely no harm in using P2P. If you keep only a small amount of files in your 'shared' folder, then you are less likely to get caught out when filesharing.

yupps, it's illegal there, and safety doesn't matter much. as for "getting caught," no p2p program is really any safer than the other. some have more virii and harmful/misnamed files on them than others, but you should scan your files for problems before you run them for the first time, anyway.

i'm a diehard limewire fan. as i'm on dialup, bit torrent would do me no good, else i would migrate to it. with limewire, i have a good blend of file availability and a resonable amount of security, which is quite pleasing.

To answer your 2nd question, nero123, I've just started using Frostwire myself but Ive also got Limewire, so on comparason between that and Limewire Id say they are about the same as far as saftey goes.

@nero_123 dude frostwire has been out only a short time.they made frostwire so when limewire goes down they have a backup. frostwire is the same thing as lime wire just different skins. and on the sharing part sharing mp3 music files is ok .but if u share a popular movie even before its done people will start uploading off u and then your pc will slow down.quote>>Auslander (i'm a diehard limewire fan. as i'm on dialup >no wonder why u share files your on dialup not many people are going to upload of u anyway it would take to long.as were i am on a 4meg line and i like downing of people with cable or dsl. i have goten over 275KBS a song .ant way if u want mp3 discograph (entire albulms )then i would use torrent. has anyone got any discography off of frost or lime ?? anyway all of u switch to frost now .soon limewire will be banning all copyrighted goodies...

Question: Is all copying piracy?
Answer: No. Copyright gives the owner exclusive rights to reproduce, adapt, publicly distribute, perform and display their work. Nonetheless, the law allows "fair use" of copyrighted material. Fair use permits, in certain circumstances, the use or copying of all or a portion of a copyrighted work without the permission of the owner. Copyrighted works may be used for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. To decide whether a use is "fair use" or not, courts consider, in part:
(1) the purpose and character of the use (including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes);
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work (giving creative works more protection than factual works);
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole (including size and quality- i.e. Does the portion represent the "heart" of the work); and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Courts balance these factors, placing an emphasis on the fourth, however rulings have been unpredictable. Parody may be protected by fair use where the user is actually making a comment on or criticism of the copyrighted material, even if a profit is made from the use. Still, distributing copyrighted software will rarely be fair use because people will use those copies instead of buying the software from the legitimate vendor.
