With all due respect Eric.........In the US, this statement is simply incorrect
-- "Legally, you are probably expected to delete
these files after 24 hours". To download such copywrite protected material is
illegal, whether downloaded for one minute or twenty years. Please see my
previous post. What you do is your own decision........but we ought start with
facts.
If you doubt this.............look at some of the recent articles where the
music industry is trying to develop programs that will go on your computer and
check for copywrite protected material. If you are a business, and have such
material (whether MP3 files or software programs that are unregistered), your
business can be subject to large files and punitive damages.

¤| I am a music freak and use various utilities such as KazaaLITE
¤| (Never, ever, use Kazaa unless it is the "Lite" version
¤| http://www.kazaalite.com/) and Audiognome www.audiognome.com to
¤| download music. Legally, you are probably expected to delete
¤| these files after 24 hours. I don't, but if I really like the
¤| music I download, then I make it my mission to purchase the CD if
¤| it's at all available. Unfortunately, I very seldom find CDs
¤| relating to my kind of music because my taste in music starts
¤| from the 50s and tends to fade away after the 80s. But I have
¤| really enhanced my CD collection and bought many CDs as a direct
¤| result of these music downloads.
¤|
¤|
¤| Downloading an MP3 file gives you a good indication of whether
¤| you would like the original song or not. MP3s are restricted in
¤| tonal qualities because they make use of compression technologies
¤| which are not exact replicas of the original uncompressed file,
¤| so my opinion is if I really like the song I will buy the CD to
¤| get full enjoyment of it.

¤| Hi MN and all, Can someone clear something up for me please? I'm
¤| not really into music or other multimedia on the computer, but my
¤| daughter is growing up and now asking about Kazaa which her
¤| friends have.
¤|
¤|
¤| What is the bottom line about the legality issues? Is most of
¤| what's available on Kazaa/WinMX/all the other names you've
¤| mentioned --
¤| music that other people have recorded from CDs they bought? Or is
¤| there original free music available too? Movies? Bits recorded
¤| from TV shows (my daughter's interest)? If she wants to download
¤| stuff is she ethically or rule-bound expected to provide music
¤| that she has recorded too? I took a look at the Kazaa site but it
¤| wasn't explained very clearly, and I'd rather not download just
¤| to read the info. Do we need an always-on connection?
¤| TIA Sharon
