      Thought I would share this with you guys, I found it both amusing and horrifying at the same time.

      Stopped by the local Wal-Mart during lunch today, my wife wanted a certain Beatles CD for Christmas. I walked up to the register and while the lady was ringing it up, the conversation went something like this:

      Lady: Say, do you have a computer?
      Seek: Yes, I do. (I was expecting some kind of sales pitch)
      Lady: You ever heard of Limewire?
      Seek: Yes, I've heard of it.
      Lady: You need to buy it, then you can download every song the Beatles have written for free
      Seek: Er, isn't that illegal?
      Lady: No, you are sharing songs with other people that have bought the software
      Seek: Oh, OK, thanks. O_o

      Hmm, if I was her supervisor, I would have dinged her on a couple of points.

      1) Advising the customer to do something illegal
      2) Advising the customer to do something that will hurt sales.

      Funny, tragic event.
      you must be the change you wish to see in the world...

      i personally stopped downloading music because the sentence for getting caught is up to
      5 years in prison and up to 150k a illegal song downloaded.

      I got a warning about copywright through peer to peer downloading, almost thought I was going to have a fine or something to pay, and limewares legal?, I wonder if Roms are legal?

      That&#39;s why I use Bittorrent, preferably with an anonymous proxy thrown in the mix. When you join in on a torrent with 100+ seeds it becomes VERY difficult to track anybody&#39;s IP down, and with a good proxy in the mix, you&#39;re pretty much safe. Limewire&#39;s the root of all evil anyways. And the root of most viruses too, coincidentally.

      Limewire recruits at our school. They have posters up in the engineering building and hold info sessions.

      ROMs are legal up to 24 hrs if you do not own the original copy, and they are legal for life if you do own original copies of the games.

      What he means is that in a torrent with hundreds of leechers/peers/seeders/etc, your IP is just one amongst a hundred. It&#39;s like.. If you commit a crime alone, you&#39;re bound to get caught. If you commit a crime with 500 people, the chance you (individually) will get caught is a lot smaller. M I RITE?

      It&#39;s illegal, guys, you&#39;re all filthy thieves. Limewire (why is that so popular) or not. Same thing happened to me though, kids thought it was legal...for some...god knows what reason. Wait, people buy Limewire? And all it is is a P2P interface? Limewire should have their asses kicked.

      for all you&#39;s using limewire......dump it......use frostwire instead
      frostwire = limewire without the DRM checks

      but really, torrents are better anyways
      but if you must - use frostwire

      Would it technically be a sin to download music?

      I don&#39;t consider downloading music as theft. Music is art and should be shared.
      Programs, which can be worth &#036;1000+ I consider illegal to download, mainly because for most programs, you can get a different program that can do the exact same things free but I guess not everyone is a fan of Linux...
      Nevermind...

      The limewire software is legal and free, (open source too I think). However, downloading copyrighted material with limewire is illegal. It&#39;s okay to have the program itself, which is why the limewire company thing hasn&#39;t gotten in trouble yet.

      As for the pay thing, there was this company that used nostalgia ads to get people to pay 50 dollars for mp3rocket (a limewire mod). My uncle sadly fell for it, because they said it was legal. I was able to talk him into cancelling the charge on the credit card though.

      As for stealing music being right or not, of course it&#39;s not right, but the only reason I do it is because, well, it&#39;s easier and cheaper. If the RIAA ever told me to delete my music collection, I would have no problem doing it.

      Roms are legal if you own the actual game. That is, if you make the copy yourself.

      eek, i hate anything like that...

      One, i don&#39;t want to get caught.
      two, it&#39;s always full of viruses and adware and stuff...i rent cd&#39;s from the library, and copy them, or just buy them outright.

      Depends on how old the album is.

      Yeah, Limewire&#39;s virus-ridden.
      Seriously, though--bittorrents. If you join a good site (like Kraytracker, my personal favorite), you&#39;ll never get viruses. The community is almost entirely trustworthy, and if somebody finds a virus, they notify the community and the torrent is removed. That almost never happens though.
      As a plus, Kraytracker doesn&#39;t host anything the RIAA has rights over, so I just buy CDs that the RIAA could work itself into a tizzy over (or download them elsewhere if I really don&#39;t want to waste the money), and download the rest. So basically, the RIAA can&#39;t do jack squat about any of the music on my hard drive, despite that ~80% is downloaded from torrents.

      I too use bittorrent. Great tool for illegaly d-loading stuff. What anonymous proxy do you use though (and how fast does it get)?

      Anyways, I highly doubt that limewire downloading is legal, that walmart person was an idiot. Anyways, why pay for limewire when there&#39;s so much other P2P software with no viruses, which I have heard limewire has a lot of. Sounds like the new version of Kazaa.

      I actually don&#39;t have one set up at the moment, since I&#39;m at Utah State University, so I&#39;m required to use the USU Proxy Server in order to connect to the internet, and they monitor traffic to a certain extent to look for P2P users.
      Instead I&#39;m currently satisfying myself with downloading the shared libraries of everybody I&#39;m connected to on the LAN network. There&#39;s a LOT of people on there, too. I know for sure that everybody in my dorm&#39;s computers are LAN&#39;d together, but I think Jones Hall next door is connected too...
      Either way, it rocks. Both for stealing shared libraries, and for playing system link X-Box games and the like--just plug the XBox into the wall in your room, and have somebody else do the same in theirs and you&#39;re golden.

      Yeah, the college dorm LAN network setup works because the entire network is your hub. Try using someone&#39;s computer to sign into XBC and then have your XBOXs set up the same way as a LAN game and all of the systems will be able to play online in the same room.

      Something just happened where it is now legal to download things that you can&#39;t purchase anywhere, such as old rare games, I forgot what it is but it got passed. I used Limewire a few years ago but my computer got filled up with viruses, I now have a better way of getting music.
