==================================

 From the days of swapping floppy disks, to the age of P2P apps., 
file sharing has been the way this lovely digital society grows.
 It amuses me that someone can try to step in and attempt to 
stop this. 

 I believe most artists LIKE mp3s as a way of distributing their
music. Some down loaders have said that if they like an mp3 it 
makes them go out and buy the CD. This is the way it should be 
with information. 

 Just because we now have a better compression method of music 
that has gotten as popular as the software developers have been 
distributing for years, doesnt mean the RIAA should step in and
start suing innocent users who enjoy these artists and probably 
support them in more ways than 1. 

 As far as viruses, spy-ware and the such. These are also forms of
information that artists distribute, they can definitely be 
destructive at times, and you should always be aware. 

 I try to be as careful as I can when online. But sometimes 
(especially with the DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model)) 
bug things get on your system. 

 I use kazaalite (K++) to download shared files. The features I 
like the most are the Search for this many minutes feature and 
the "Accelerator" (Which continuously checks for more sources to 
download from). It is available at www.kazaalite.tk 

 Just because the RIAA is trying to stop downloads of mp3s, doesnt 
mean you cant enjoy the rest of file-sharing. 

 Long live file-sharing!
