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.

That statement blew my mind more than the topic at hand.

I noticed that also. 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. |

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"!!!)

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. |

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.

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.

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. |
