Do you do it legally, illegally, or not at all? I use Ares, which I'm assuming is illegal since it's free :lol:

I use Kazaa lite (which is also free) ;)

Oh didn't they crack down on that too? You must have gotten it before they legalized it, then?

I guess so... There's a thing that pops up all the time asking if we want to upgrade to a newer version....I always tell it no. I just had this feeling... :evilfoul: :wink: :lol:

I'm legal. I'm using Apple's Music Store. Not that I'm against free downloadable music, I'm not. Just that I don't do all that much music downloading, so the artists might as well get a cut.

I use Kazaa... I used to use iMesh, but it put all sorts of casino crap on my computer.

Audiogalaxy was the greatest... and then the poor thing got shut down. *sob*

I'm not sure how I feel about music downloading. It has lead me to buy some CD's that I wouldn't have otherwise... but lately I'm kinda in the "Why don't I just download those songs, put them in the right order and there I go" mode... :?

I have Kazaa, but don't use it much - the odd single here and there, but when it comes to albums I prefer to buy the real thing. Movies, on the other hand...

I use a filesharing program to download my music. Not sure about Windows Media PLayer, but I do know that the Media Player is needed to play music videos...btw, I don't have an MP3 machine.

It's pretty simple. The homepage, I believe, is softgap.com/ares and cnet.com is a downloading site that I use to get new programs.
