No.\nIf you truly want to keep your confuser safe...DO NOT DOWNLOAD NOTHIN'.\nBut, if you do wanna download free stuff, follow my guidelines:\n1) Do not use the most popular p2p services(limewire, bearshare) because evil-doers infest them more for that reason. Use Shareaza.\n2) Do not download wma files...period.\n3) For mp3's, do not download anything less than 3 MB.\n4) Keep your A.V updated.\n5) Learn to use "Hijack This" or similar advanced A.V app.\n6) Learn how to properly format a hard drive and re-install your O.S.\n7) Backup everything you hold dear BEFORE you start using any p2p service.\nGood luck, you lil' pirate you.

If you have a firewall and anti-virus program and you don't download suspicious files, you should be ok. If you don't have a firewall, Zone Alarm is a good one (a free version of it is also available if you don't want to spend any money). For a free anti-virus program, go to http://free.grisoft.com/\n\nIf you follow the simple tips above, you should be set in downloading music by using Limewire, or any other P2P client.

NO DEFINITELY NOT!! Kazaa is probably the most unsafe program on the internet. I have tried about 20 or 30 different programs, and all of them have ruined my computer, especially Kazaa. I now use Bearshare, and it is free and fast. Out of all those programs I have used, Bearshare is the fastest and the safest one of all.\n(go to www.bearshare.com to download) Limewire is a good alternative, but I still think bearshare is better

only if you get it legaly, but that still isn't 100% great quality, safest way is cd's or something legal-iTunes is great.

Well, no. Limewire Pro maybe, but not the free version. It has weaker virus protection. If you download anything other than music, really, such as programs, and especially pictures, viruses are bound to hit. I used to have it, but I don't anymore due to a problem in my computer, but not from Limewire. Unless you are confident and have a bit of luck, then yes, it could be trustworthy. Just don't overuse it, and don't download stuff if it says it's corrupted, unless you're desperate.

Downloading free file sharing software from www.limewire.com is safe AND legal. It's what files you choose to download and what you choose to do with them that can get you into less-than-legal territory. I personally use Limewire for particular mp3 downloads, but I have run into trouble if I try downloading games and other programs like that. Do make sure you have a good updated antivirus program running, and definitely don't download anything that looks fishy. That's pretty obvious. Limewire has served me well for lots of downloads of songs. It's easy to use and almost all the songs are easy to find.

Technically downloading any copyrighted work whether it be software, music, movies, et al is illegal.  That being said those that get in trouble only get in trouble because they were sharing the files they downloaded or already had, that's how they (the government) finds you.  If you just download but don't share it becomes next to impossible to find you.  And most of the people we are talking about here had servers with many copyrighted works on them.  Generally speaking the individual user is fairly safe but there are exceptions.\n\nNo, Kazaa is not okay, because the free version of Kazaa is full of spyware.  Since you have probably heard of it, LimeWire, http://www.limewire.com/ is great but I have since moved to FrostWire, http://www.frostwire.com/ which is the open source free version of LimeWire Pro.  And FrostWire is based overseas so it would be harder for US laws to affect the software.  I'll reiterate that if you share your files you are at risk of getting in trouble so it's just best if you DO use it to just download and not share anything.\n\nWhen you download files from ANY P2P network always, always scan them with your anti-virus software before running the files.  There is always the possibility the file you downloaded could contain a virus and if it does most AV programs will detect them because it is probably an old virus to which your AV software will have definitions for.  Zero day attacks are not likely to occur on a P2P network.  If you don't have a virus scanner, AVG Free is an excellent one, http://free.grisoft.com/\n\nThere is no guarantee, it is 99.5% safe.  That is, there is only a >1% chance you will actually get caught, there is a slight risk but it is mostly safe.  Mostly being the operative term.

Most will be illegal! But there are cheap alternatives like itunes/amazon etc or some sites like emp3finder.com (don't know if it is legal or not).

i use limewire. u can go to limewire.com and download the basic version, which is free, and it allows u to download music for free. it's a file sharing program, so u have access to all of the songs that other people that use the program have. it's a really huge network and i've never not found a song that i want, so i love it. and after u download if u have the right program (i have RecordNow) u can put the songs onto cds.\n\ni know that a lot of people say that limewire is bad and dangerous, and i'm sure that there are instances where it is, but i've never had any problems myself. i run system checks and spyware searches and stuff like that every once in a while to be on the safe side, but my computer has never crashed or anything like that because of it. so give it a shot! it works great for me
