    Are sites like Kazaa dead now?

    http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/27/tech...ster/index.htm

    The decision handed the entertainment industry a crucial victory in its battle to curb Internet piracy -- and was a big blow to technology companies, which claim that making them accountable for the illegal downloading of songs, music, video games and other proprietary products would hurt their ability to innovate.

    In MGM v. Grokster, the high court unanimously overturned a ruling that had barred Hollywood and the music industry from suing Internet services used by consumers to swap songs and movies for free.

              Well excuse me. Kazaa is the only one I really know about since I don't go around illegally downloading stuff. I haven't heard of the others.

                          It's been dead for a year or longer. It's so seeded that's it's pointless to even fool with it.

                          LimeWire rocks, though.

                              Actually Napster is alive. It's just as a paid music service now. Had amemebrship fo about 6 months until Yahoo music came out and since they charge $6.99 a month I've been trying them out.

                                      You never saw the super bowl comercial with all the people that got busted for using napster? Each and every one of them paid for the service.

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                                  Are you retarded? How can I get busted for using a LEGAL service?

                                                      BitTorrent is way better. Kazaa and Limewire are only good for old stuff and individual songs.

You just sign up and pay for the music you want to download. They have deals with big 5 music labels as well as tons of independents. If you get sued for paying to use napster then I will pay your legal bills.

For an extra $5 you can download the music to a portable music player( except IPod ) of course Yahoo offers offers all of that for $6.99 a month, hence why I'm with them right now. If I really really like a song I have no problem forking over the 79ยข so I can burn it to a CD.
