If they wouldn't rip us off for music then none of us would turn to p2p and file sharing. Once i pay my 79 pence, its MY property, i should be able to put it on any player i like, apple or no apple printed on the back. Yes i know - distribution rights - yada yada, but do us all a favour and just go back to trusty MP3 format, eh Apple? This is all Apples fault, i say.

Smart as you are you do know that, don't you? There will be virii on whatever system you use, none is v-proof. As soon as Linux/MacOS raises above 7,5% of a userbase, it'll get attractive too for virus-writers. ed2k, torrent, gnutella(2), kad, fasttrack,... they are all vurnable, some more than others. But it's up to the user to use his brain. 400kb for the Harry Potter film is not possible, avi extension or exe (or pkg,...), doesn't matter. Read comments before downloading if they are there. Know what you download, nero9 still does not exist. "Sharaza" is not Shareaza. "mesenger live" is not from microsoft. #53: How old are you?
