with you all the way on this comment.
Not all torrent site are illegal and torrent spy does,nt even host files same as demonoid or pirate bay.
Ok, first you say that not all the torrent sites are illegal, fair enough.
But then you appear to condone people downloading copyrighted - and therefore illegal - content, thus:
Maybe if the uk goverment lower the tax over here people would,nt download these files.
I came arcoss one torrent for the bbc last of the summer wine and even the usa like watching it.
I expect they do. However, those programs cost money to make and to download them illegally is actually theft. No matter how many moral arguments you might make, movies, music et al are sellable products, not freebies.
I don't wish to come on as squeaky clean here, I'm not, but I do represent this Forum and endeavour to keep it out of trouble with some of the larger corporations who may come down on us if we appear to support what they perceive as theft and piracy.
I use Limewire myself. As for Limewire being a high risk for viruses and malware, a user has to have a modicum of common sense. An exact match in the search panel for your mis-spelt search enquiry is a dead cert for a nasty, as is titles like 'Steven Spielberg gets prank phone call'. If you don't realise that's a nasty you almost deserve to get it.
Likewise, very small files purporting to be video footage or audio files are very likely a virus/malware.
Like I said, a little knowledge and common sense.
Anyway, as mentioned, this is a public Forum and as such is viewable by those who may wish to prosecute us if they see content which they believe is detrimental to their business.
And with that in mind, sorry, but I'm going to lock this thread.
