I agree. I've downloaded songs I hear were good, and those 20 second clips on Amazon.com or whatever just aren't enough to win me over. Hearing a whole song really helps. Buying CD's in my area is hard, as the closest city where they have real music stores is an hour and a half away, and I don't have a carjustice wrote:

Downloading is not kosher either.ceslayer23 wrote:
I heard somewhere that it's alright if you just download the file. If you share the file with other people, then it's illegal. is this true?

Why would you? You wouldn't notice the problems. The only problem you will notice is when you see the little white envelope dropping from the door; calling you to court of fining you.{B-T}<babacanosh> wrote:

No, you are already sharing by downloading. You are breaching copyright law by accepting the download from the sharer. You both get screwed.

Is there any chance of being caught using RS?Zimmer wrote:
Bittorrent is the only slightly safe bet without paying. Thing is, its getting sued from right, left and center. Right now Europeans and Americans are nearly 100% safe from Torrent lawsuits. But soon enough people wont be.ceslayer23 wrote:

The top notice on

Read it. P2P is not legal unless its free content. All music is copyrighted, it gets tracked.
If you are willing to pay. RS should do the job. Or a newsgroup ( usenet )

how do you browse libraries?King_County_Downy wrote:
They make it hard to find limewire pro now too. Nothing comes up in the search anymore. I had to search all of the intranats just to find an older version of the free limewire, so I could download limewire pro. I still use it to download porn and music. I aint scerd... I think think the best way to find stuff is by browsing people's libraries. Searching is ftl.
I'm picky with my songs and generally only like one or two off an album and besides living in my small town it can take up to a month to get in an album unless it's popular/recent...justice wrote:

Lies! Canada recently shut down my favourite torrent site and cut off my supply of new music and Avatar episodes.Phatmatt wrote:
Does this affect all countries? For example I'm in Quebec, Canada and I heard that we get away with downloading music more then lets say in the US.
Canada is more strict than the USA with this. You are more fucked than the Americans are.Phatmatt wrote:

Ive downloaded over 17GB of stuff on limwire and not heard a dickie bird from the government or police.Zimmer wrote:
Have you not read all the problems with Limewire?
They have, sadly, been legalised. So no more downloading music and shit. The search only comes up as "audio" because they don't want people to be making specific searches for artists illegally.
Limewire tracks all users activities of illegal downloading and the British and US government have the power to see what that is.
Don't use it. Unless you want to get fined.
And that means its legal? Wow, I admire your ignorance.wensleydale8 wrote:
