to share.. or not to share...

Now that I have DSL... I would like to download video's and music... not sure which shareware to use... at one point several months back.. I used Kazza... not sure if I want to use that one again...

any suggestions?

Kaaza has spyware....Kaaza Lite doesnt

Not to be a party pooper....but we have had several people caught and charged for downloading music and breaking copyright...the music companies are paying big money now to try to stop the illegal distribution of there property..

Your decision though...just thought i'd make you aware is all

I have switched to just paying the buck a song from Mac. Not worth getting busted for d-loading free stuff.

Napster is no longer a free service, and therefore quite legal.

I personally prefer BearShare. I only download and don't share, mainly because sharing slows down the connection, no matter what kind of connection you have. (Yeah, I'm a selfish bitch....LOL)

Mac.com or Apple.com....High quality downloads at a Buck per song. Still comes out to $14-17 per CD, but you only have to buy what you want so I like it.

jennaflower,

iTunes is available for the Dark Side... I'm sorry... for Wintel machines running WinXP - if they have FireWire. It was originaly realeased for te Macintosh running OS X, but your "mac?" indicates that you're using Windows.

Not sure what you have, but it is worth a look. It is legal an has a wide selection... of music written since 1900... bah!
