    Of course I'm ok with it. How many times have you bought a CD just for that one good song you heard off the radio? I have so many times. One good song and the other 12 are total crap. Also who wants to pay $20 (Canada) for a CD with less than 20 songs on it, a complete waste of money.

    Oh and about Metallica, just one more reason to hate them and their gay asses.

    Lol I highly doubt they tapped computers, they would get sued for millions. They have to have better evidence than some mp3s to tap a computer. As I said child porn, hacking etc...

    Well I know they made metalicas songs illegal in court in 1999 against creator of napster, it was free back than. Napster started all these downloading programs but i personally think they all suck, napster was the only good one when it came out. I guarentee everyone who uses downloading programs get 100s of virus's reason i dont use them, i use something called top sites(private member ftps) ;)

    BTW if they tapped my pc I would sue them for god knows how much.

    Sooner or later you will get it, reason I hate those progs. I just get the actually releases, much safer and get it much faster than they come on those progs.

    For all of you who say it is OK to d/l music for free, Just think about how people on GR react when they see someone takes their work for free. If you put a couple days ,or however long, worth of your valuable time into a sig and someone comes along and takes it to put their name on it, without giving you anything,credit or thanks,would it piss you off? I dont d/l anything illegally, I personally think that if I want it bad enough I will pay for it or ask someone for it. JMO

    Stop spamming solaris. Youve posted like 10 times already.

    They do not hack your computer to see if you have illegal music or not. If you have downloaded music illegally, they know. They have the technology to track every download, and they use it. The penalty for illegaly downloading music is $150,000 for each copyrighted song, and up to 5 years in prison. Also, it doest matter if the song is 5 minutes, or 5 seconds. Same penalty for both.

    Think of it this way.

    All the kids who want creds for everything they make because they are selfish idiots. Of course kids steal the things they make without paying. It happens all the time here.
