A new law in congress may ban filesharing all together... lets hope this doesnt pass...

Instead of spending the money bribing politicians to aid their cause the could try charging a reasonable price for their wares, that would probably help stop piracy much more.

Well it isn't just that. It would pretty much make all technology illigal like cd-rw drives, vcrs, tivo, tape recorders, microphones......

Your pretty much right there, man. Kazaa was my favorite P2P program where I got all my music and free apps. But now most of the music you download by popular artists is fony and is just a crap file that will blow your ears out! You almost have to browse multiple P2P networks in order to find some good files. And some people say that one program is better than another and so on. Really they all are being taken apart slowly. Piece by Piece. Too bad....

It is a shame, it was a great thing to trade music and vids. Thank god my collection is backed up.

Well what these guys don't realize is that as long as we have networks and internet, then there will always be a way to trade/share files and music. What can they do? Make the internet illegal??:eek:

Me neither.... I have always used K-Lite K++, and I think it still works better than some others.
