I don't know what to make of it all. File sharing does have legitimate uses, but then there's absolutely no question that is not the main nor intended use of the technology.

I'm thinkin' it's like firearms, another product with legitimate uses, but of course they're used illegally too. So do you go after the manufacturer or producers of the product? Or the people who use them illegally?

Because of that comparison I'd say the people who use products illegally should suffer the consequences. If that comparison is wrong please let me know, because in my heart I think the producers of file sharing programs are in the wrong (as witnessed by their intentional and necessary subterfuge to stay in operation).

(Then again, there's no "right" to steal other people's work, so there's that difference ... )

hi JD

when i was a member of techtv c.f.h

kaaza was an enigma

because of the file shareing

many posters got malware trojons and virus

through this operation.

and i remember many

moderators and tech posters

wouldnt answer any one who had trouble with

kaaza

[1] it was illegal to download protected music

[2]if you went to file sharing you deserved what you got

by using kaaza.

[3]some posters came back many times with the same problem

i recall after a while. many of us started to resent kaaza users

as they took up the board time with the same problem

in the end techtv

made a special forum

to cater for these users

i think those same fixes are in the sofware answers

on this board and at g4.

under the title kaaza begone

yes i agree with you

fry the

b------ds

Oh man, I remember that time. :lol:

I wasn't one to deny help to someone who used software that directly lead to their problems, but there sure were plenty of people who would, and I couldn't fault them for that decision.

User: "Why does my computer crash after I use Kazaa?"

Techie: "Don't use Kazaa."

User: "?"

Good times, good times.
