What you are saying is that Linux actually utilises Bit Torrent for it's intended purpose.

What exactly does Linux do for P2P?
It legitimises it.
How?
Are you having sport with batterup? There is very little legitimate need or use for massive P2P down/uploads. Linux distros are one of the few exceptions as they are huge public domain files that may be freely shared.

The knee-jerk answer to the question of *why do you need to be able to upload 4 gig files* is *for sharing Linix distros of course*.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18459450 Wed, 06 Jun 2007 12:23:31 EDT Re: Music sites riskier than porn? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18458101 Maxo :

I find this hard to believe. However, I don't frequent either type of site (can't stand music) so I guess I'm not much of one to comment.
It's it easier to belive. If you want LEGIT music you know you have to pay and we all know which site are those. So if youa re going to any other site then of course it's a risk. the site owner is alreadya criminalfor offering music he does not have the rights to, so why be shock when he also gives you a virus or isntalls spyware.

The porn side of the internet is much more legit than people give it credit for. Porn sites have no qualms about canning affiliates who try to scam or do anything else illegal to get sales. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18447443 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 15:05:44 EDT Re: Music sites riskier than porn? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18446987 nklb : Nothing much to say about it, any time I was exposed to music as a child it was in a negative context (i.e. being forced to listen or perform at school or at various childhood activities) So now I have a negative association to music in general.

It doesn't generally BOTHER me per se, unless it is too intrusive. I do not ever go seeking it out, but if it is in a movie or something as a background then it doesn't really matter.

To answer the inevitable question about what I do in the car, I listen to AM talk radio.

What type of person "can't stand music"?
That statement blew my mind more than the topic at hand.
I drove one of the loudest "Boom Cars" in Northern California for 3 years.
To say that I am burned-out on music is an understatement.

It is possible to not wish to hear music any longer... I can atest to that.

I too was drawn to that particular comment. I'm hoping he comes back to say that it was in reference to today's stuff because if he honestly can't stand music then frankly I think that is rather depressing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18446564 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 12:25:50 EDT Re: Music sites riskier than porn? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18446508 Maxo : Yeah, I can't get the first one at work either.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18446508 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 12:13:27 EDT Re: Music sites riskier than porn? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18446493 nipseyrussel : " It says Music Sites and then lists Bear Share.

Bingo, i'm guessing its another article where the writer either does not understand the topic or dumbs it down for an ignorant audience.

I apologize for guessing, but apparently my work web filter has now decided to block BugMeMot for some reason (classified as "criminal skills"!!!)

It makes me wonder just how neutral MacAfee is in conducting this report. I see no mention of non P2P music apps that you can download directly from a website, such as iTunes. They do not make the distinction and they say that people only use P2P clients to download music which we all know is incorrect.

I will dare say you are at most risk getting infected downloading a application form a P2P network than a mp3 file.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18446485 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 12:07:04 EDT Re: Music sites riskier than porn? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18446465 birdfeedr :
