Really? Where?

K-lite. But that only prevents you from downloading dummy songs, it doesn't "protect" you from them finding you.

Thanx for the warning, but I had assumed that.

does no one know of the edit button?

anyway, what if you downloaded a mp3 as a .sa or other filename, then changed it back? would they be able to still detect it?

i've heard some people talk about Canada, In Canada under the Copyright Act subsection 80, you may legally make a copy of a *commercial* cd (which you may have borrowed) for your own private use, but NOT pass along a copied CD to someone else, of course this law is flawed but it benefits the consumer

in internet terms you can download from the internet but you CANNOT legally share. (been on the news quite a bit lately)

hint hint, move to canada

Since when does the RIAA have a contract with the big record labels to market their products?

tunesrus, your are right!

Maybe they should try monitoring with the Mackie HR-824's or better.
