Re: Is there any reason to NOT use limewire?

I've heard Limewire is backdoored by the RIAA so I would stay away from it. Same with many of the other p2p software. Best to go with torrents or news groups.

Torrents FORCE you to SHARE what you're downloading which is a risk of getting busted by the RIAA.

So, you admit to leeching?
Torrenting also allows for encrypting the data streams.

It's called filesharing for a reason.

Not really... you can limit your upload to whatever you want... it's no different than if you have limewire or winmx open... people can download from you if the program is running.

Yes I do admit to leeching because I sure as hell don't want to get busted by the RIAA!
