> FILE SHARING IS ILLEGAL No, it's not. Sharing of copyrighted material is a violation of the copyright holders' rights, it is not theft, at least not in most civilised countries. Photocopying a book is not the same as removing the physical book from the store, it's a simple legal fact. Civil court vs. criminal court. Only in the US, and perhaps soon in EU, this could become equivalent, but copyright law was never intended to come under the same heading as theft. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: nodex.sytes.net ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Don't have good ideas if you aren't willing to be responsible for them.
