A comeback is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well I am concerned about the health of P2P so I like to be on it. I cleaned up my shared directory and got to it, lending a hand to the community at large,,,,,,,,per se,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Have dowlnloaded now all those favorite old time all timers. Archies, Alvin And The Chipmunks, The Partridge Family. Now I'm a real pirate. I better stash the guns, silver and gold, and the wimminfolk.

Is that a knock at the door ?

In the first instance I would take GREAT relish telling anyone without Police authorisation claiming that a computer, at my physical address, had downloaded copyrighted material, to go fuck themselves. In any case, they'd need to prove it was me who downloaded the material. A single computer may have many users.

Furthermore, how do they know an unauthorised executable didn't install the P2P software? You'd need key-logging software to prove otherwise, the mere presence of which on my computer, let alone usage, would constitute unlawful espionage by either the music industry or my own ISP.

I think with 20GB of music carefully shielded from my shared directory that might not hold up. I don't think I would attempt to use that defense. (honest, it moved itself to the music directory, renamed itself according to my protocol and created it's own subdirectory, really)

That would kinda be like going to school saying that your dog ate your homework when you don't have a dog. "Honest officer, I didn't notice the damn thing downloading those full length unreleased movies". But really if they come for me then I'll have alot of company. I'm sure I could get a pinocle game going in the cellblock.

Fukum.

To the OP, you get Limewire 5.2.1.0 yet ? I can assure you gnutella is not gone.
