Well... first we'd have to agree that it's stealing. I'm not so sure and neither is Baen publishing.

Check out their website at http://www.baen.com/library/.

They allow you to download books for free and get this... according to their numbers, their sales increase because of it.

I 100% agree with the free copy thing. I have bought all of the games I like, but I tried most of them extensively before buying them. Some were legit demos, but I have more than a few ripped copies of games laying around given to me by friends. If they survived more than a month on my hard drive, I got a legit copy.

Look at HTC... they have the most open game of any of the online flight sims. Only the main arena servers are not free. Yet they seem to be doing much better than their competition.

I would like to believe most people are decent and will pay a fair price for a fair product as I generally do, despite the number of friends I know who do otherwise because they are too cheap or too poor to get things legitimately.

Though I don't mind seeing pirates like Microsoft getting a taste of their own medicine by having people pirate their software: eye for an eye.

Looks like Kazaa lite is not that lite either..

I get randomly ad popups while minimising it.

Those bastards.

If a thief gives you something, you shouldn't expect him to not take something in return.

hehe funked up I've been sitting here reading this thread laughing and thinking the exact same thing.

KAZAA is crap it takes over 3 hours to download a simple 1 mb song. WINmx is way way better

Kazaa light is working great for me. I haven’t had any problems with it nor received any ad’s. I also have an ad blocker running though.

Vorticon – get something besides two tin cans tied together and you might be able to down load a little better

. I made a list the other night of 15 songs. It took me about 10 minutes to find, select, and have them all downloaded. It would have been faster if I could have queued more at one time.

I have KAZAA-LITE. Before I used MORPHEUS and KAZAA.

I cant see any difference in the download speed of these three programms.

A 700MB-film will download within 24 hours - smaller films in shorter time.

So everything is OK for me.

Doesn't all this free-booting slow down the internet and throw off my aim in AH?

I think we should be told.

BTW, Tac's link doesn't work for me. I just get a page written in a bunch of code. I looked at the page source and picked out another webaddress, but that didn't work either. Any ideas?
