sorry, but that is a lame excuse. Be nice and save your peer some money? yeah, like: "you don't have to buy it, you can download it illegally here, oh wait, and here is the serial"....

There are much much much better ways if you want to send something to someone you know in a much safer and faster way.

P2P networks are NOT illigal, its the CONTENT you downlaod which can be illigal. For example, if I downlaoded Songs my freind Made using a P2P Network like Kazaa or sumthin, it wouldnt be iligal becuz they arnt loosing any money since, they are still in the garage phase of thier band.

But if I downlaoded say like.. uhhh Eminem's Songs or one of those big artists which is part of a Music Industry like Defjam, then yes.. that would be illigal.

P2P is NOT elegal since its a Type of Network Fundamental like: LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) etc...

SO making P2P iligal will NOT happen since thats like Making LAN or WAN illigal, and basicly thats like making the internet iligal which is NOT going to happen.

This is the reson why the RIAA are starting to SUe the People who share songs through the internet, becuz your Computer is the server and the people who downlaod off you are the clients. YOu cannot sue Kazaa or any other type of COmpanies, since it says on your LEGAL RIGHTS that you are alloud to host any buisness companies however you like.


BUT I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING! Downlaoding or Pirating HUrts OUR ECONOMY!!! Buy the game if like it. For me I Use P2P software to try out Beta's Unreleased Games and Games that dont have demos so I can try them before buying them, or beta test it to see how it will be like so i can get a better understanding of what the game is like. I DO BUY GAMES that ive downlaoded from a P2P software, and delete Crap games i dont like within 24 HOurs.

To Answer Durex's Question "Does it go faster if you let people upload from you like Ed2k"

The answer is yes. Becuause Shareaza can connect to the ED2K network and downlaod from them as if you have emule or all that other ed2k software client/server side softwares.
