Limewire - Mp3 Con?/??
« on: 01 February 2007, 20:25:45 »
My daughter's friend has signed up for this website (free version) for free downloads but it looks like Napster type site to me with File Sharing issues.

http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

Is it safe - or should I just run away - your comments as ever would be appreciated.  :)

Thanks TD - by safe I meant ...er....will it knack my PC, risky etc -  the version offered is ok and claims to have no bundled software unlike edonkey and Kazaar.

Sorry, thread locked. We all know what these p2p systems are really for, despite their (limited) legal use.
