It depends what you mean by safe really.
If you have a good, up-to-date anti-virus running and a good firewall, then you will PROBABLY be safe from catching any of the viruses or trojans that live on fast track.
If you use an up-to-date IP block list and/or PeerGardian, then (hopefully-touch wood) you will PROBABLY be safe from getting a nice legal letter from RIAA and its cronies inviting you to court for copyright infringment.
If you have a pass-word protected partition on your computer, delete your tracks well and clear your playlists in media player, then you'll PROBABLY be safe from your Wife/Girlfriend/Pairents/Wee Sister finding all that nasty porn you've been downloading and never talking to you again.
In the end though, simply connecting to the internet opens up the possibility of something bad happening, so you'll never ever be 100% SAFE, kazaa or no kazaa

Tell me it is, even if it isn't.

your not safe if you use kazaa.. but most of us take that risk..
if you run a program on your lan to exchange mp3s etc.. you can get sued as well, but its harder to find out about.
signature removed, check the boardrules.
How much harder?
Also, what program should I use to block my ip?
