It is possible, well not fined but sued for distributing copyright material There are ways to protect yourself from these things happening, but still not guaranteed. This site has filtering software called PeerGuaurdian2 to download for free. It will keep well known anti P2P IP's from entering your system http://phoenixlabs.org Don't share too many files at a time Also don't stay connected 24 hours a day Also search the forum for other ways. Use the search option (words like Legal Illegal RIAA MPAA) |

Requiring people to share is much worse than not sharing at all. The main reason "anti-leeching" features were abandoned years ago is because it would have inevitably resulted in thousands of people "sharing" millions of junk files just to avoid being arbitrarily cut off by selfish people. Let people share what they want, when they want, or not at all if they choose. That freedom has resulted in what we have today, the strongest P2P network with the greatest variety of files. |

Still no reason for Trevor57 to go telling people to not share Would think that people can decide that on their own And BTW people are sharing lots and lots of junk files allready. And by that I don't mean spam or viruses, just really crappy encodes that should not be on the network |

When that feature was first introduced we immediately got a flood of people sharing whole folders of DLLs and other junk from Windows or various large programs. They never went away after that but fortunately the open sharing nature of gnutella prevailed. Because ratios and other forms of trading selfishness were never really pursued the amount of junk sharing leveled off. |

peer to peer sharing I have just read about the kazaa legal problems, and have something to think about... should limewire get into the legal action, would they try to pass the cost of said settlement on to the the people who use the service? I've paid the fee for the program, would they charge us twice? What about the people who recieved the program free, Will this be the end of frostwire and limewire basic? |
