Whether or not there is a grain of truth in this, I dont know.

I just heard from a friend that KaZaA (The thing that provides free MP3's and stuff) has being outlawed and if you continue to use it that music giants such as Warner Bros and Sony are going to begin prosecuting people.

Apparently this was on BBC news, which I didn't see today, but surely someone out there did.

So is this true or just a hoax to put people off downloading stuff?

Damn, I was hoping it wasn't because I do use Kazaa pretty often for MP3's

Guess I should uninstall it :-(

I reckon the music companies'll be going after the 'super nodes' only.

No i saw the news and it said that the music companies are gonna have people looking for people downloading songs and giving them online 'tickets' so they can fine them later.

I think.

Bah.

If you get KaZaa Lite they can't spy on you anyway.

Yeah, I think it encites people to be more crafty in how they get illegal music.

But the stupier people are put off, like me.
