Yes, but not as much as I used to. I guess it's cause I have all the songs I wanted and saved them to disc. Usually whenever something new comes up I'll download it, then maybe buy the album.

I never have been interested in downloading music. As I mentioned in another thread I am not interested in too much music. I like jazz (Weather Channel Local Forecast Music

) and soft rock is okay.

I was a Napster freak! It was a sad sad day when they shut it down.

I used to until I had to pay for the service at Music Match Jukebox. Go figure! :roll:

I have Limewire and still download some, but not as much as I used to. I still buy the cd's though.

I download from Grokster - scan with the newest version
of Norton Anti-Virus, and, scan with the newest version of
Ad-aware to flush out those nasty imbedded pop-ups and
such!

Yes. ditto on the Kazaa lite. I think that Kazaa is next in the crosshairs of the revenuers.

I don't personally, but one son uses Kazaa for music...

He's burned a lot of CD's over the year!

I admit that I do, but I haven't download in a while.

I use limewire

I used too, even paid for madster when it changed from Napster! They even took my money from my pay-pal account for 2 months AFTER the site was shut down! Oh well serves me right I supose.

Is Kazaa easy to down load and pretty bug free?

thumper · #18 Postby **thumper** » Thu May 01, 2003 4:56 pm

I use Kazaa. Not as much as I used to. I just read the other day that the companies are sending messages to the users that they are not Anonymous and that this hurts the musicians. I have also read the other side of the coin about people being exposed to music through programs like Kazaa that they wouldn't have known before.

WidreMann · #19 Postby **WidreMann** » Thu May 01, 2003 5:53 pm

I use Kazaa as well. I might stop as I am starting to view it as wrong, whereas before I didn't really feel one way or another. While I think the record-companies are money-grubbers, and many artists probably make too much for their own good, it is still property and it belongs to the artists. Strong property rights are what makes an capitalist economy work. If you don't have them, incentive and capital are gone.
