A. I'm not the list owner. B. Nobody accused you of seeking to rip off copyrighted software, but it's worth mentioning that programs like Kazaa (which, contrary to your apparently-naive view, are not used for anything else BUT ripping off copyrighted software and copyrighted audio/video) are generally seen as detrimental to the Mac community. > Kazaa had a clearly defined Free download button just like Real > Player and a bunch of other web application "retailers". Kazaa is free. But what it is used for is illegal. It is not used for any legal activities. > I asked the broader question - if not specified for MAC users, on > Kazaa, Real Player whatever - it wont work. You're right that I should have answered this part of your post directly. There is no direct Kazaa client for the Mac. There is a shadow client available, though I'm not sure what that means. Real Player obviously DOES have a Mac version available. > I didn't buy a MAC to get sermon's and be accused of being some sort > of criminal just short of a FBI wanted serial killer. I'll give you $100 if you can find anywhere in my post where I said this, or directly accused you of ANYTHING. You're reading rather a lot into my post ... I wonder why ... > If I just want the cheap free version that's my perogative. The cheap free version of WHAT?? Do you even understand what Kazaa is?? > I didn't join MAC to be part of a cult either. That only so and so's > allowed and you'll ruin the neighborhood and everybody's viewpoint of > MAC users attitude doesn't sit well with me. Fine. Switch to Windows. People who are interested in Kazaa are interested in copyright theft, nothing else. Period. It doesn't DO anything else. You'll find a lot more people with "like minds" in the Windows world if that's your interest. Good luck. _Chas_ Come to ...
