Right. Ok. Thank you for the feeback but I'm still a touch bewildered by this dreadful 'fining' mp3 sharers business. It makes no sense. Surely the people who are to be fined can counter sue? I have a few hundred songs from Limewire, and some are automatically uploaded to my 'shared' folder. I don't know, we fans get one up over the artists and record label and they begin with their hissy fits getting their knickers in a twist over it all.

See I may have been annoying in the beginning but come on, you can't get much more annoying than that. Back to topic though. Yes, it really scared me when the government First started fining people for illegally downloading music because I had both Kazaa (which I miss) and Napster!! I had Limewire but I had to shut it down because of so many viruses infecting my shared files. This whole problem is a load of rubbish.

dont get scared dude, it's fine. Just dont share too many songs. And try to avoid downloading popular songs, look at the file size too, bigger files sometimes come from those hack programs that'll get onto your browser and f*ck sh*t up.
if you guys are scared and looking for alternatives, you know, you COULD always buy the albums. Far fetched I know. But, look into Half.com. They have used CDs, and you can find good prices. Or start buying vinyls- best way to get music, stickers, and posters all in one for a low price

Well that's a real nice tip and I don't think I'll be downloading any more sh*te. I just saved my 600 or so songs onto multiple cds and deleted all the crap on my computer. It took me another month to fully clean my computer from all the junk Limewire did to it (or the files). I bettteerrr start lOOking into those used cds..........

either way, you should be fine. They cant rationally go after all the millions and millions of people who use those programs and download songs. I think they're going after people who download and share like clockwork, and have music libraries in the 10,000s on their computers.
