    Stupid Newbie Question

    Ok call me stupid, call me what you want. I have done searches and can't find the answer to my question.

    What I am wondering is;

    All I hear about is file "sharing" laws and supeonas. So does that mean its still OK to download as long as you dont share?

    I very rarely download songs, but I just want to make sure when I do, I am protected.

    Thanks in advance for the advice, and sorry for the stupid question.

    Don't worry guy, it's really not a stupid question. As far as I know the RIAA is only going after users sharing large amounts of music.. For now I believe it is safe if a person were to just d/l and not share.. A.K.A. "leech". Welcome to the forum.
    P2P is cool....But P3P.. Oh boy!!

    Don't worry, no one shares their crappy music anyway. Anyone who does is probably a mythical creature.

    Hey Dont bash Noobies! Its retard kids who dont watch the news or pay attention to current events that we get to leech off of. You know who im talking about. Kids in high school and college who use their parents bandwidth and download 10,000 songs and have no clue that what they are doing could get them in prison. And they dont know that they are even sharing! Woohoo! Oh man Im glad that kids in the US are retards! If it werent for them, we wouldnt be able to leech.

    If this is your subtle attempt at disuading our members not to share as you are a troll, just come right out with it.

    If youre point is to insult americans then you still have one foot in the grave here already. Either way, not such a good first post.

    <rant>oh thats right... you're from california ... that state that should be it's own country...i try to be positive as umch as i can... mostly to stay on the mods good side but that was possibly the stupidest comment i've ever heard. If i may point out the fact that NY has one of the highest education standards in the US (i'm an ed major so trust me on that) and although we're not all as smart as others many of us are intelligent enough to be able to tell that with your attitude your stay at zp won't be very pleasent... hell i havent been around for even 20 posts and i can tell that much... as for encouraging leeching... we should duct tape you to a tree and pelt you with empty beer cans for saying that</rant>

    ps: sorry if that wasn't appropriate but i really had to vent after reading such sillyness...

    Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".
