JDoors Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 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 ... ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDoors Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 ... because of the file shareingmany 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 ... Oh man, I remember that time. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
