Best P2P software?

Jaysin · Post by **Jaysin** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 7:26 pm

Hey, i was wondering what a good P2P software program would be. Its more for my brother who wants to download music from unsigned bands and stuff but i'll also be using it for downloading a lot of unlicensed anime aswell

So i ask: What's a good program for P2P? If you could list what you like and dont like about it aswell as if there are any risks like spyware.

Thanks

Err... hm.

Yeah, against site rules. Read this, please, and try again later.

i specifically said none of the material that would be downloaded WOULD NOT be copywritten.

seeing as how this isn't against the law, can you tell me why its against the rules?

Um, unlicensed anime definitely is copy<i>righted</i>, by the people who made it.
Yes, fansubs ARE illegal.

jesus, what i meant was that none of the material i am going to download is going to have a copyright, making it 100% legal.

You said you were going to download unlicensed anime. That would involve getting a copy of the anime without going through the legal distributors who have the rights to distribute it.

Anime has copyrights on it whether it's been licensed for Stateside release or not. They belong to the people who originally made it.

It's not legal. Get over it.

Well, not quite.

The other day, I downloaded a .ZIP file containing Episode 1 of Risky Safety, subbed, from <a href="http://www.animenation.net/anent/riskysafety/">AN Entertainment's official Risky Safety website</a>. That download was legal, because it was offered freely by AN Entertainment, the officially licensed R1 distributor for the series.

The downloading isn't what makes it illegal. The peer-to-peerness, because it implies that the distributors are being bypassed, is.

i came here for help but all i got was a bunch of flaming hypocrits

Hypocrites?

That's a good one.

Pray tell, just where in this thread do you see hypocrisy?

And if by "flaming" you mean "pointing out that your post was against forum rules because it asks for assistance in illegal downloading, as well as explaining the illegality thereof when you didn't seem to get it (and by the way, it's still illegal)", then yes.
