.All of this is true.

.However, if you can get a downloading program (not necessarily used for =
.illegal sharing of music files) which is open source, and therefore can =
.be inspected by many programmers for any such unwanted activities, you =
.could come a lot closer to something for nothing.
.
.BitTorrent is such a protocol, and the ABC BitTorrent free client is =
.quite accessible by jfw.
.
.It's a little difficult to learn at first, as you have to learn about =
.torrent files, trackers, etc., but once you get on to it, it works quite =
.well, and never has any unwanted side effects.
.
.There have been several articles, in such mainstream mags as Discover, =
.lately which have promoted torrents as the downloading protocol of the =
.future.
