I stumbled across this seemingly legitimate fileshare programme which isn't policed by online Kazaa reps, or flooded with illegal content.

http://www.netmp3downloads.com/

Doesn't seem anything out of the ordinary except a large sticker saying 100% legal. You don't have to pay to join or anything.

Then again, it could be like iMesh where you can freely download the stuff by up-and-coming bands, but stuff by recognised artists is also on there but downloading that is illegal.

Have a look, what do you make of it?

I'll wait until I get my router when I have internet on my computer and not the family one. I've been using iMesh which I think is better than K-Lite as its download speeds are faster generally.

I'll get K lite though, so I'll drop you a line when I get back online on my pc.

If you do, take a stab at my email address and email it. Or post yours. But give me half an hour whilst I eat my dinner.

Heh, no they don't. As far as I can tell one of the guys who helped to make it and who owned the domain name decided to pull a fast one and try charge for it.

I have the setup file for a version of it, 2.89 Mb. If you want I can email you it.

I tried removing it from Morpheus but it wouldn't work thereafter.

Kazaa Lite is the best one to use.

Well iMesh has GAIN spyware and adware, but that is easily removed. I only use it a bit for checking out trailers (as apple.com/trailers never seems to work for me!) and the occasional new band. Usually I tend to buy music or borrow my friends mp3 players and upload their stuff.

It was a few months ago. Except it is so riddled with spyware that I would rather buy everything legally at overinflated prices.

Well Kazaa and Morpheus are legal. But that is the programs themselves, not the trading on copyrighted work on them.
