    Since getting Pandora, I don't bother pirating music any longer. Just isn't wort it with the insane lawyers exploiting the legal system for blackmail letters.

    I've never had any problems with Frostwire, also you can stop sharing files which is why I used it over Limewire in the first place.

    $36 annual for the premium service (w/o commercials, higher bitrate, no limit on how much you can listen to, and access to the mobile apps). You can run it free to see if you like it for 40 hours a month (I think they charge $1.00 if you want to go over) but you get the commercials.

    It really is a great alternative to pirating. I've found a ton of bands I would have never known existed and always enjoy the music that is on. If ANYTHING is going to destroy the record industry, I believe Pandora and it's legal business model will long before pirating will.

    Encryption will, for the most part, stop your ISP from seeing what you've been downloading.

    Private trackers are much safer as far as record/movie companies snooping around for IPs to send angry letters to.

    See 80 cents a song is just too much, especially if it's older stuff. If it's a new album from a big band I can sort of understand but if I'm wanting to download some old Urge or something I think 8 bucks for the album is over priced. It seems like last I checked it was a buck a song so hopefully it will come down in price more.

    Eh not really worried about either...I had to encrypt them when I was at school because they thought they could stop us from torrenting. HAH! Never...Doesnt encrypting slow down your download speed?

    Nope, I've gotten similar speeds whether or not I was encrypted.
