I think you'll find all such sites will have their fair share, it's up to the user to use their own common sense.

Is it breaking any laws? The whole idea is against the law. Copyright infringement?

The Limewire's main use is pirating music... oh and supplying viruses.

I have a Roku box for Netflix as well as my 360. I get my movie fix through those. Also there is Hulu and such.

Thats why i only get it from 'trusted, vip' pirates
But as IOWA said, that's not the point. If it was up to the RIAA every person who uses these kinds of services would be fined and/or prosecuted. Even a small victory is something to be reckoned with
It has it's uses but TPB FTW!!!!
Yea +1 on newsgroups, SLSK and torrents. With emphasis on newsgroups. Was so impressed with newsgroups I paid for a fast server.
I know someone mentioned only using torrents for older stuff. But for music, SLSK is a goldmine for older, hard to find stuff. Sometimes torrents and SLSK can flip flop for the best for finding old and hard to find music.

Good riddance. If you think iPhone iFans are arrogant....you never been on the wrong side of the staff at Oink. Legit problem and solution that got lumped in with ratio cheaters. No explanations accepted or believed.
Another site, same thing happened. But they believed and understood me. Although that was after Oink got shut down but still...
Whats funny is now some torrent sites have what I was doing as part of their guidelines...some torrent clients now have what I was doing as a feature...and its no problem now..I guess I can kinda blame it on ISP throttling being new and some ppl not really understanding it back then.
