IS DOWNLOADING ILLEGAL

[toonfandangl]

  Bertie I noticed in "Shout" you asked for information on downloading material you wish to view. 

There is a lot of controversy BUT there are Programs which are not illegal say the ELECTRONIC FRONT FOUNDATION

and RECORDING FRONTIER FOUNDATION downloading from any search engine (google etc) the program BitTorrent

is the protocol and Mininova is the ultimate BitTorrent Source.

You download and save on your hard drive open up and away you go Films Games Documentaries etc..........Hope its of

use to you..................Frank

Hi Frank,
I think there was somebody else who needed the info, I only wanted to rattle Mike's cage to see if he's awake.
BUT!
I was actually looking for this information, and you probably read my mind... great stuff, I will definitely be looking into it,
Thanx!

It takes a lot to rattle this ol' cage....

Ja, I use Utorrent as my client to download torrent files..... and Mininova, in my opinion is the cleanest Torrent search engine out there.... I also use Btjunkie and I found a nice one for scarce comics called HT33..

However, it is illegal to download copyrighted material that you do not own....

In some countries...the laws are very strict.... your IP address is traced and you are prosecuted....



I find that if you happen to live in a remote part of the world and do not have access to the big city shops, or that you are looking for some obscure program, movie, documentary etc.... then torrents the way to go....
