some web sites also give samples Paxx, my audio store does the same. but for some people that just ain't enough

3ds max...Bryce 5...Photoshop 7...movies that are still out in theatres...how could I resist?

UHRBid; a script virus (.vbs etc..) is not a buffer-overflow exploit, or related to a datafile virus in anyway.

A script virus works much like any .exe/.com/.scr virus does, since scripts are *designed* to be executed.

Regarding the winamp mp3 virus... just Google it (I love saying that to someone )

Hell Dragon: Be careful saying that though

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I have some comments. I use Kazaa. Actually I use KazaaLite which I'm sure you think is worse or something. I get mp3's because I dont want to buy and entire album for just one song. Earlier you also said that it was like stealing a ferrari for an hour then returning it. You dont steal it. You take it for a test drive. I'm sure some of us have been tempted to take a viper or some other beautiful car for a spin, without buying it. I'm not sure why you think that p2p is so bad. It seems to be a great way for people to send files and such. And either way, the files that are on there are mostly out of yours and my control so it doesnt really matter. I personally am gonna take advantage of a resource that it there. Thats just how I feel. Sorry if you disagree.

Just adding my two cents. I tend to agree with Elfkura and the many others who say that Kazaa is not a bad thing. I guess another analogy would be a gun. I don't own a gun but I have never blamed the gun for the murders that have been committeed. I do have a copy of Kazaa on my system and have had it for over a year. In all that time I have only downloaded two songs that I couldn't find locally (I live in the boon docks). I liked them so well that I did in fact wind up buying the CD's (two different songs--two different artists)even though I had to send away for the CD's.

Citizen Spinal said it far better the I can:

"eg. [mp3](not owned by you)->copy using p2p->[Your hard drive]
same as
[movie on tv](not owned by you)->copy using VCR->[your blank tape]
same as
[song on radio](again not owned by you)->copy using casette recorder->[your walkman]
I fail to see the difference, should we all dissaprove of vcrs and casette recorders, both designed for ripping, both, when used as intended break copyright laws..."

Music is my next greatest passion next to computers and if I like the music I buy it so that I can play it anytime I like. I put all of my music (records, cd's, tape)on to my hard drive and always have it running in the background.

I'm sorry Paxx, I understand your thinking but I just don't agree with it.
