Yea no need. I understand the attraction to it, but it is blatantly illegal.

I have a family member who calls me constantly because there is something wrong with their LW. They keep getting bogus songs. They are on dialup and the results are seeded with bogus copies now it takes them hours to get a few songs and most of the time they are crap.

I suggested Itunes (the guy owns his own business) and he said "Nah, I want 'em for free, I'll just deal with the bad downloads"

Needless to say when he calls me to fix his Windows he won't get the family discount of 100% for computer repair work.

Now, now, let's not introduce common sense, morals and honesty into this thread.

Lmao, im SURE thats how everyone who has limewire's computer is like, LOL. Tell them to ****ing reinstall, it fixes all their problems, but youre probably too busy being righteous and will just have them believe your half *** responses even though their ways of getting music shouldnt be by anyway your decision. Give me his email, ill tell him the truth.

You sure are a know it all who knows very little.

I'm not going to debate the law, morals, or computer topics with you, it wouldn't be fair, you simply aren't equipped to handle the debate.

I'm sure you'll have some stimulating response like "****" to this post and feel free. I'll give ya the last word, I'm sure your ego needs it.

Its no wonder the old guys are getting more scarce in this forum, the children with keyboards have taken over.

boy itd be a shame if a guy like you had to stop coming to this forum, oh wait, then we wouldnt have heated arguments like the one in this thread because poor bastards likeyourself feel someone actually cares when you try to tell someone what theyre doing is wrong. The guys question was answered, obviously considering all of us are using limewire in this thread except for you, you shoulda known nobody wouldve agreed with you when you posted youre useless opinion.

You jackasses shoulda known if you post something in a public forum, you're gonna get a wide variety of answers and replies, some will be on topic, some won't, and you ain't gonna like all of them. Accept that, or don't post.

Currently it's not illegal to download music in Canada so I'm safe.

I just to say thanks to JBMX928 for Bitlord. I used Bit Torrent in the past and it was so slow that i just got rid of it. But bitlord is awesome. And so far I have been lucky with LW no viruses.
