P2P is generally not legel unless you download those which are freely available elsewhere.\nAnd it has no garranty to be safe.

Well as the others say, yes, technically, in probably most cases, the music is will be copyrighted material and so it is illegal to take it for free, or indeed to give it out (share it) for free - without the copyright-holder's permission. Despite some high-profile cases where individuals have been, successfully of course, prosecuted by record companies for illegal filesharing, this is obviously a scare tactic by the record companies, and we are talking about a handful of individuals being prosecuted - out of, I imagine hundreds of millions of file-sharers - so the risk to you is really extremely small.\n\nAs regards what Mr. Edwards says about viruses, well I have to say it seems like he is anti-filesharing and therefore he would say that to put you off - although I may be wrong(?). In reality I would say, although he is right there are many viruses on filesharer's computers, the risk is no greater really than that associated with using the rest of the internet - I mean to put it in perspective, if you don't use filesharing because you're worried about downloading viruses through it then you shouldn't really use the internet either.\n\n**This is not to say of course that you shouldn't be careful** Take all the precautions that you do with the rest of the net - make sure you have proper anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware software and use it! Virus-scan your downloads - you'll find, handily that many popular filesharing software - this may help you choose - will have a setting in the options to *automatically* scan all incoming files using you installed anti-virus software.\n\nAnd if you do get a virus etc through filesharing, just bear in mind it could *equally* happened through email, browsing etc.\n\nRather an essay there but hope that helps!

There are legal ways to use it that result in NO risk.\n\nIf you just download stuff, even illegally, riht now there is almost NO risk.\n\nIf you UPLOAD stuff illegally, there is an increasing risk you will be caught and prosecuted- although RIAA, etc. seems to be laying low right now waiting for a few cases to be settled.\n\nAlso, typically, they will demand a LOT of money, make a big media splash, then settle for pennies on the dollar.

Before you download Limewire they'll make you agree to the statement that you won't be using Limewire for illegal filesharing.  It doesn't stop anybody, but its their insurance.  I don't believe Napster had that.

Before I start, all file sharing programs themselves are legal. It's how you use them that make your activities legal or illegal. If you download copyrighted works then what you are doing is illegal. However there are many good uses of file-sharing. Some programs other than Limewire are Frostwire, Shareaza, and any BitTorrent clients (Azureus).

there aren't any sites like that because it's illegal and they usual get shut down. but you can either get a filesharing program like morpheus or something. or do what I do which is download this program called bitcomet, then you go on a site like torrentspy.com and there is a lot of music you can download, and usually you download whole albums at a time which is better than filesharing where you download songs individually.

Torrents AHHH YES.... I love em.  They are the next generation of file shareing.  The old way was, you'd connect to someone elses computer, (you and about 30 billion other people) and then it becomes so, so, SO SLOW.  What a torrent is, more-or-less, a direct location to a file, like a short cut, HOWEVER... A torrent can be downloaded, and moved around, whereas, other file shareing programs, you are locked into useing that program PERIOD!  For an example, so you have a slow connection and your downloading something.... and its takeing forever, well you can take your torrent files, (and they are so small you can get like 30 on to a floppy!!)  to your friends house, who has a supper fast high speed connection, and a dvd burner, so you can just burn your fliles after you've down loaded them... in short, they allow you to move your downloads when you are useing a file shareing software...the best program, is bit torrent... if you have a highspeed connection, and need a program or two, check it out, and then go to the site www.isohunt.com, and look for your title, and then down load the torrent file, and then open it with bit torrent... you'll enjoy it!

Are you sure that you're not referring to "BitTorrent"?  It is a filesharing application that is fairly popular.  If it is or is not, I've included the link to their site below.

Limewire is a music sharing network...You download their software (as have other people) which sets aside an area of your hard disk for music.This area is available to other people on the limewire network.So any music that you have in limewire becomes available for other people to download..with the amount of people with limewire there is a big library of music available...There are also other pieces of software available like bearshare and etomi.pro, all run on a similar them to limewire..(It is illegal as some filesharers have been taken to court and been told to pay thousands) When people download they have only access to the music and nothing else on your computer...You can also download films,images and computer programs...Limewire is free to download as is the content so no royalties to the songwriter or the production company..If you download from itunes or similar you pay for the song but this may be limited to how many times you can play it or how many cd copies you can make. With programs like limewire there are no restrictions.....

If you don't upload you are less likely to get into trouble, as people who share (give as well as take) copyrighted music are far more likely to attract attention and get a lawsuit filed.\n \nPlus someone that shares say 1000s of latest chart songs is more likely to be sued than someone who has a small collection of classical and opera music.\n\nBut no it won't help prevent you from getting seen in the first place, just take my word for it you get no privacy on the internet. \n\nBut saying all this, don't stop uploading to p2p (if everyone did p2p wouldn't exist).

for music some are ok, some a riddled with adware and spyware, to some extent malware, other peer to peer programs? prolly the same stuff applies. ups and downs, but if used correctly all for the better,

I don't know, but I do know that a lot of those P2P music sharing sh**, have viruses in the songs. You download a virus while you are downloading your music. \n\nBe careful
