it is the 'sharing' part of peer2peer networks the RIAA and British equivalent have problems with isn't it? so if you don't share, or upload files then you don't break the law?

If you don't upload after you download (At least 100%) you're a git
But yes, it is the uploading that they nick you for. Because without uploaders, the p2p community wouldn't exist - weho else would people download off?
I am proud of my Upload Ratio!
Clicky!

But the police are far more liley to go after people who upload large maounts - there are just FAR TO MANY downloaders to get - uploaders (Those who upload ALOT more than they download) are an easier target - and are the people who keep p2p alive.

i don't want to pay for MP3s tho i'd pay for .Wavs. In anycase, without financial muscle, record companies are finished. Pressing, distribution and marketing can all be done from home now. I'd say nearly every piece of music ever written has been put through a PC at some point - even hard metal rock or accoustic work. It's that same PC that can make you millions.
If you don't share, then I ban you from uploading off me. People who don't share on P2P are selfish cunts.
Live the leeching lifestyle, if filesharing dies from it then so be it!
:yes: A friend of mine warned me that some people will do this to you if you don't share files, which is fair enough.
If I had my way, I would arrest people who don't share.
prick
Thats as low as you get really. You are steeling... and are not willing to even let other people take that same thing as you.
All it takes if a little while leaving the torrent open... until the upload/download ratio says 100%... and you've given back what you've taken. You would be amazed.
Leave a torrent open overnight and it will probably be well past 100% by the time you wake up.
And anyway. At least I know one thing: You will never be on Demonoid.
Actually Blagy, the services I use do not require a username
I'm stealing? Thats rich coming from someone who steals intellectual property. There are plenty of people who seed, and tbh I wouldn't use Geekazoid because the music I download is free, I don't pirate, plus I cannot be arsed to leave it running and use up more of my bandwidth.
Pot... kettle... pot... kettle...

I will always seed and give people as much or just as much, ok so my ratio is only 0.95 on demonoid atm but I haven't been downloading much and use Bitlord which seems to be funny with ratios etc. the only thing I do do is stick my ratio between 15 - 20 kbs but will leave it on for ages. I believe that is fair.
I just think its (a) incredibly selfish and (b) incredibly stupid, not to mention (c) incredibly cowardly to d/l and not share.
And why pay for something when you can get it for free? I have all the type of music I want available free of charge, why go into a shop and buy (if they actually sell that type of stuff) more or less the same mix by a top DJ when I can get it free from an up and coming DJ?
I don't give a fuck about sharing, I really do not give a toss if the file sharing community dies, all the stuff I listen to is available on DJs websites, their made into torrents for people with slower connections etc.
