Please search the forums BEFORE you post!!! Leagally speaking getting copyrighted material for free is illegal. As for programs that are downloaded, there is freeware and shareware. Like the name says freeware is free for everyone to download and is usually open source. Shareware programs usually offer a trial period for the program or a partial version of the software for you to try before you buy it. Warez, appz and other software that has been modified (cracked) to reveal the source code, remove counters, ect; IS illegal. Good luck and please read the forum rules ursula has taken precious time to post for your convience.
