Post Bogus Claims

Let me make it simple:

#1 Downloading software, movies and music from the net is not illegal!

#2 Downloading copyrighted software, movies and music is illegal.

So it depends on what you want to download.

#3 Any software program that claims to mask your IP address is bogus these programs only hide the IP information at the User Interface level which means that if anyone with the most basic understanding of networking could see what IP addresses you are using.

Consider for example the following facts.

In addition to LimeWire I use Kazaa, Kazaa doesn't show the IP address of the people transferring files to or from you. But there's this machine I have on my network that shows me a map
of the IP addresses talking to my machines. There's no way you can avoid this.


Think of it this way, It would be like trying to use a phone to call someone without having a phone number, no phone number, no service period.

Please spread the word.
