Just listnen, I have tried the T3 thing, and I know for a fact that that is not the biggest problem. The problem is that too many people download this crap and never check it right after, as a result, others download these useless files and life goes on. Also advoid things like "2 pages of" or "Series of" in the title for videos. Sometimes people put music on their files that are newer copywritten material that the CD's are encoded and cannot be copied from pear to pear without special software. I have no trouble downloading my music and my daughter has no trouble with hers so far. I know that we are being watched, just don't be stupid and try to sell your downloads and stay away from kiddy porn. Also burn music instead of keeping too many on hard drive. There are websites out there trying to promote and know how to get in. Once some cable or dial-ups have the crap files.....we all get it. Check files often and delete trash. Fight against dictatorship! or join it.

True enough.
Problem is that many many people out there using Peer-to-Peer leave the application open to download/upload stuff while they go to work/school/parties-and-stuff.
In the meantime, the download might finish waaay before these people come back home, thus showing more sources for the corrupted/fake file in other people's searches, consequently making the latter go: "Gee, there's a popular file! I bet it works if so many people have it. Hmm. I'll start the download now so that it's done when I get back from work".

Click.

Oops.

One more user sharing the godamn file.

Frustrating?
You bet.
