I use limewire and i actually dont mind it. I dont feel bad using it because for years we have been ripped off by cd companies and cd artists because most people would go out and buy a cd for only a few songs. Totally not worth it. 15 - 30 bucks for a few songs is ridiculous. I find downloading and burning your own cds much better cuz you never have to worry about not being able to find a god song, like an old one that no one listens to anymore, cuz your guaranteed at least one person on the P2P server has it. Cant necessarily do that in a cd store! And besides all the music artists today end up trying to have their own clothing line, their own perfume/cologne, sports drinks, tv shows, movies, etc they really dont need the small chump change from cd sales. PLUS AND THIS IS THE BEST REASON, a lot of people still do buy cds! My friend downloads them from the internet when they first come on the radio, then when the cds comes out he buys it. So its not like every downloader is stealing, or pirating, its just a easy way to check out new and old music without paying big bucks to do it!

I use limewire and I love it. Fortunately for me, I use it legally. How? Well, I was dumb enough when I knew less to actually pay to subscribe to limewire. So my downloads are somewhat legal. I don't download so often anyways and I don't download videos or software. But if you know your way on it, it's nice.

no i don't use it, because i think artists should get their dues for songs, because they have so many viruses, and because i don't want the RIAA or MPAA hauling me away to court!
So these are my reasons.
Don't take this to mean i like DRM. I HATE DRM!!! It often tempts me to go over to p2p networks (though i won't).
In my opinion, if someone buys a DRM song, deletes it, then downloads it from a p2p network, it's fine, because the artist did get their money, and you got your song.

yeah......i do! i feel unbelievably guilty! i ONLY use it if i can't find the cd in a store near by (that IS the truth!). I hate it when people download a ton of songs that are brand new and easy to buy. i also hate it when people download movies cause they might also be easy to buy. i don't download movies.

no i don't. sometimes you might not like all the songs on one CD, so it's better to download the songs you want. Plus buying CD's are a waiste of money.
