I, too, would like to know how to Use Mirc in place for Kazaa. Im getting an MP3 player over Christmas and ireally need a substitute.

 

Can some explain how to use MIrc inplace of Kazaa? (For MP3's ofcourse ;) )

Wow, talk about way off topic.

 

Second, it's only Kazaa Lite that has been affected ;) not kazaa itself. Plus anyone with any basic coding skills and such can make their own kazaa lite. Or you could just keep running Spybot S&D while you're on Kazaa.

 

Now back to the real topic before this thread gets closed and people get warnings. (No asking how to get/distribute warez, that's what the rules state.)

 

It is very ironic that Kazaa is suing the makers of Kazaa lite.

It's like someone working at Rockstar suing a game company for making a game too violent.

It is possible to use p2p programs to download only legal files.

 

The trouble is that a large number of people do not, hence the controversy and the desire by various companies and groups to try to sue them out of existence.

 

 

mp3 is simply a sound file format (like wave, ogg, wma, etc). It is in no way illegal in and of itself.

 

Using encoding software you can make mp3's yourself from any sound you recorded.

 

Some bands have distributed free mp3's of their songs and encouraged people to share them.

 

What's illegal is taking copyrighted songs where permission was NOT given to distribute them and distributing them to people who don't own the right to use them (ie: people who don't own the original audio cd's).

 

Basically distributing without a liscense.

 

 

So long as nobody is encouraging warez usage or posting warez, this discussion can be allowed to continue. Just watch yourselves.. ; )

Yes, but of course, KL is alot easier. mIRC is a chat program that can support p2p. KL is a p2p program that can support one on one chat.

[over-the-top humour] You could always mug someone and buy some cd's with the songs you want then rip the songs to mp3 and put them on you mp3 player or whatever. All you'd have to worry about is the guy you mug having a bat, and his possible report to the cops[/over-the-top humour]

 

You people need a p2p rehab clinic. SERIOUSLY!

Remember folks, addiction isn't a good thing.

I was about to say, didn't kazaa lite also use the gnutella network? meh, People need to lighten up, you went without free music for a pretty long time, I'm sure you can do it again.

i guess they could change the way the network works, to exclude kazaa-lite now it can't be updated to fix it.

 

However i thought KL was reverse engineered, in which case they should have no basis to sue it over copyright infringement, except for maybe over the name.

 

The RIAA just released figures showing that over the 5 months since they started suing people the number of users of kazaa has apparently dropped from 7million to 3.5 million.

 

I thought that with the way this system worked, there had to be a lot of users for it to be worthwhile, and those users with the full version of Kazaa should be able to download from KL users just like other Kazaa users... so they have just cut a big bunch of potential downloads away from their own users and reduced their already dwindling userbase at the same time. Doesn't seem to make much sense for Kazaa to me.

 

On a related note, sales of music haven't gone up while the filesharing has been dropping, so so much for that argument. Although of course the RIAA didn't mention THAT in their press release... :D:rolleyes:

Selective journalism, truely a wonderful thing :rolleyes:

 

Of course the RIAA isn't going to announce their failure, they are business people who wish to keep customers.
