not many files have licenses attached yet (that feature is still pretty new), so you can't tell if an unlicensed file is OK to share or not.

To search by license type, try an audio search and select "Creative Commons" to try some licensed files. You can also right click the result headers to turn on the license colum in the search results.

Is it illegal to download a file if LW says they can't find a licence? If it doesn't have a licence is it copyrighted? And for confirmation, if it doesn't have a licence or/and is copyrighted, it's illegal to download it?

I really need somebody to help me because I now know that downloading a copyrighted file is illegal, but I still NEED to know if an downloading unlicenced files is also illegal. Somebody please answer me.

This might make things clearer:

Hey guys... thanks a ton!!! <3 im really happy now....

I clicked no, when it asked me about licensing, and ive tried everything to download, like uninstalling and resetting the default and still no luck, can someone please help me?

The answer is on page 1 of this thread. Here's the link: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...176#post154176

Revert Popups to Default : Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>View>Popups & click revert to default. Then try to d/l another file and the license warning should popup.

Of course - and i may be wrong but could the FBI be watching everyone on the sites and then decide they need to raise revenue! Beware :-)

From the country I come from, who are the FBI? FreeBeesIncorporated or F***B****Instigators, who knows or cares. They've never done anything for me despite making a complaint to them more than once about legitimate issues for no response. They don't exist here ... therefore they don't exist! They're irrelevant AFAI'm concerned. They have nothing to do with politics here. Perhaps the CIA do ... well the CIA interfere in every country's internal affairs. And what a mess they've made of the world where they've had major influence ... the past 80 years has shown that! They are a sham ... they are terrorists whenever they interfere in other country's affairs. That's how they've operated for the past 80 years as terrorists! Whoever leads them has to then take that mud on their back unless they clean their act up which is like asking a monkey to give up a month's supply of food.

My comments have nothing to do with the topic of this thread & should therefore be ignored!
