i think the loophole is that you can get non illegal stuff from kazaa also like pics

or is that illegal also

anything that is has copyrite is illegal, if the pics have a copyrite then they also are illegal

yeh but what i mean is there are legal things you cn get from kazaa so it womt be banned just like DVDREWRITERS they are used illegally to copy DVDs but they can also be used for non illegal use there is always some kind of loophole [/b][/quote]
like is said if it has a copyrite then its illegal otherwise np

OK, now I have to ponder something... follow me down the road I call "train of thought".

I hold the copyright license for a band, so I&#39;m using Kazaa to distribute MY materials. I also have permission from another band (well, a direct request, actually) to distribute selected items of theirs, as well.

Those items are house separately and shared separately from everything else. Everything else are either photos that I don&#39;t share or MP3 versions of music I already have on CD, tape, or vinyl.

So, with that in mind, I ask this:

Are those "copyright infringement" pop-ups automated or are they hacking my hard drive? They&#39;re very aggravating, either way. If they&#39;re automated, then they&#39;re as good as spam and they need to check who holds the copyrights on the stuff coming off my machine (me) before hitting me repeatedly. Now, if they&#39;re hacking to get at other stuff, that&#39;s even worse than using the servers as the free advertising they are.

Thanks for your time.

kazaa is legal if you just dl the program but if you dl some music or movies some people may say thats illegal

[sparsely]

yeah.
you get the best speeds by downloading from yourself anyway.

irc = wait a couple days to get the download started, then wait a couple days to finish the download

i prefer emule for rare/big files and kazaa for music,smaller apps, and older games.
