Lime wire and soulseek both get my vote. As long as you only transfer/download public domain music and software eh!!

what do you mean public domain?

Not licenced or free to download.
As most stuff, music software has to be paid for.
But some bands give out free music to get known and software companies give out freebies.

Post by: rollazuki on December 28, 2006, 09:31:03: The whole idea of many of these sites was to give unsigned bands an opportunity to have the world hear their music, have it passed about across the world, and hopefully someone with contacts would like it, then sign them etc. etc. etc.
The whole P2P thing works so people can both access others files, and have their own music/video files accessed, thus giving a worldwide file sharing network.

So far all legal, as its all 'public domain' files (ie ones which are legal for sharing/swapping)

The problem arises when some user adds his own legally bought cd/dvd to his music files. Now thats OK, cos he owns the cd, royalties have been paid etc, but suddenly it appears on his shared music file, so other users now have access to it. This is the point where it becomes illegal.

So really, the whole file sharing thing isnt neccesarily illegal, its just getting used for non legal stuff by the majority.
