Jumping the Kazaa ship

[Jaguar]

I'm just curious as to how many people have changed their file-sharing habits because of the now 400+ lawsuits filed by the RIAA.

If you now use something other than Kazaa, please say what.

[SlowwHand]

I primarily use WinMx, supplemented by KazaaLite.
RIAA can kiss my ass.

HOWEVER, I did have a dream the other night that a former Texas Attorney General with 2 Texas Rangers showed up at the door.
Odd.

I've never used Kazaa. In the past year, I've given up on P2P programs altogether.

I used the original Napster for a few months before legal complications came up for them, then I just stopped. Now I have a quarter-gig of iTunes Music Store songs.

There are tons of legally tradable MP3s out there. Many unsigned bands release their songs on P2P networks as a way to get their music heard and to build a name for themselves.

Kazaa Lite forever!

I tried Kazaa once, laughed, and went back to eDonkey.

[SlowwHand]

eDonkey for a Jackass.
Fitting.

I've been wondering whether the RIAA is smart enough to track down k lite users as well. There doesn't seem to be any mention of them in any of the lawsuit articles.

Kazaa has many flaws.... I prefer DC++. Unlike Kazaa, it does actually have a ton of legal files. I have downloaded there some very good documentation about various aspects of programming, as well as tons of other stuff.

It's the same thing.

Holy ****, few people get sued and everyone loses their balls all of sudden.

I still use kazaa lite. In fact I use it a bit more now to insult peers around me who have become bunch of wusses. But I prefer edonkey and bittorrent (but bittorent NOT installed on MY OWN computer! )

[General Ludd]

Yeah, bittorrent is good too.

I'm with Sloww (on WinMX)

Actually, I have dropped WinMX last year because my uni didn't allow any P2P program, and the security couldn't be bypassed.

Now, I don't download that much on WinMX. Some anime episodes and that's about it. However, I'm an active sharer, and I share as much as my harddrive space allows. It's my way of saying "take that RIAA ******* !"

I just can't bear these little cretins are trying to hamper the way media will be distributed in the future
