I need my Kazaa and imesh, without em my world would be much quieter, and more expensive.

To be frank - exactly. I agree with you there but another thing is that there is a risk involved as people may be monitoring your connection if you have a fast fixed connection. Thats the only way they can really stop people from downloading files really by prosecuting them. Why can't companies not rip away at our savings account instead by punishing us by taking our internet connection away for a brief period. That would be fun becasue then you could go down to a public place and surf away there. But really companies need youre money becasue of this fact.

"I am a big company boss, I have loads of money - oops I spent a £ - secretary, find someone to sue please."

Thats it really.

But yeah, pirating is the way to go, movies, software, and music

I hate to say it but not everything is on Kazaa. Some damn companies are putting these damn bogus songs on now so we cant pirate them. But I heard on the news that some companies are gonna give ups soon and put proper versions of the songs on their websites for a 'cheaper' price. Something like 50p for a song on UK websites. I don't know if thats true but either way, I'd still rather keep my 50p.

Ive heard of programs like Itunes that charge for music and that doesent sound like a bad alternative , BUT. Not every song or CD gets licensed to be sold on those kind of programs so whats the point of it if they dont have the new music you really want ?. Im just not into downloading old Christina Agualara songs so i dont think that program would be for me.

Thats kinda like what I just said only Itunes is supposed to only have older hits. Myabe one day they'll strike some stupid deal with the record companies so we can download the new hits. Anyways, I still can't see them making much money out of that either.

I forget exactly how they do it but they can get print outs of what you have downloaded under your username and its all perfectly legal. Maybe not fair, but legal.

You know thats kind of against privacy laws really isn't it. I mean if somebody had a private life on the intternet and they got to gape over every picture or website you've looked at maybe its time you sued them if they come up against them. Maybe, I dunno. But its still unfair becasue some things you wanna keep anonymoous, like your personal details on the internet - right?


Anyways, just my views - don't shoot the messenger!
