Carl,
I've been using peer P2P stuff for about a year and a half now and have
never picked up any malware or virus'....probably been a bit lucky. I do
scan everything before opening.
With regard to the site you mentioned. I have run across several of those
and, IMHO, they are no better than using your own torrent client for free.
When it comes right down to it, who says they are any more
legal?...........them? Just because it is on one of those sites doesn't mean
they have royalty rights....which they probably don't. I would recommend
staying away from anything like that just as you would the "great software
sales", et al.
Hope this helps your friend.
Jeff

Subject: Downloading TV
I've been asked by a friend how to download TV shows for viewing on a PC
or
burning to DVD.
I loaded iTunes and noted it had only a very limited selection of TV
episodes available for purchase.
So I googled and came across tv.org, which appears to be a peer-to-peer
sharing service, with a membership fee requirement. Across the home page
are emblazoned:
"Unlimited TV show downloads"
"Millions of users"
"Never miss an episode again"
"Plus unlimited Movie downloads"
and on the membership signup page:
"100% spyware and adware free"
When I hear "peer to peer file sharing" I tremble (spyware / trojans /
illegal / etc.). Anyone using this and happy with it? Not looking for
in-experienced commentary (I can do that myself), thanks.
thanks,
Carl
