Extreme_biker0 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Blueyonder, my ISP, provides access to newsgroups (inc. dodgy ones) for free as part of the service.You really, really, REALLY shouldn't use Limewire. I know, first hand, so nobody can call bullshit, someone who got fined £2,000 by the uk phonographic industry or some such shit, based on evidence that they were using limewire. Don't do it.

Danny Kearns Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Limewire and torrents are completly different.Limewire - Good for small downloads like songs etc, because of the small filesize allows you to get more kb per second, also it is good for new realease films.Torrents - Crap for single songs but good for albums, also good for older films because they have more sources for them, also good for films etc.Dan.

Extreme_biker0 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Limewire is legal what are you on about.Dan.Do you live in a cave!?If so, here's the deal: When you download a song from limewire pricisely £0.00 goes to the artist/record company that produced that song. They are not happy about this, and are currently in the process, both here and in America, of bringing class-action lawsuites against people.Basically, if you get this letter through your letter box, you can go to court with £10,000 to pay for lawyers to fight your case against charges against you that add up to £10,000's, or you can settle out of court for £2,000. You choose the latter, as you have not a leg to stand on.It has happened to a girl i know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Bit Torrents are far superior, so long as you are on private trackers, otherwise, it's a good start, but it's becoming less and less safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Lets all pretend you didn't just say that...Well, it is?The program itself is completely legal as you can swap songs on a creative commons license (I think?) and not pay for them, of get free samples for a sample library.It's when naughty people put songs with a 'All Rights Reserved' license on, that it becomes illegal..
