          Use open source clients with no spyware such as DC++, eMule, bittorrent.

            Kazaa Lite has no spyware, hence the "Lite."

            DC++, eMule, and BT do not access the same network, AFAIK.

              though, in my opinion, dc++ and bittorrent is better. i never liked kazaa or any clients like it.

                Kazaa Lite is a hack of original Kazaa and is illegal, the OSS clients are not.

                    The clients may not be illegal, but either way the sharing is.

                      No, it isn't. That depends on what is shared. It depends even more on what country you're in. It's legal in Canada (they're already paying the levy in advance).

                        Not completely correct. It appears that it's not illegal to *download* but it is still illegal to share for download by others. And, of course, that only applies to music.

                          I believe it's illegal to actually share the files (read: upload) in Canada, though it is legal to download.

                          And how much of the file sharing happening on these networks is really legal anyway?

                          Whatever, I suppose the nitpicks will warrant a revision of my statement then.

                          Depending on where you live and laws in your area, it is most likely that the file sharing is not legal, regardless of the legality concerning the clients themselves.

                            If I recall correctly, there is a plugin for giFT that allows you to use the same network as Kazaa. Fast Track is the network they use. Besides, Kazaa themselves were raided....

                              Kazaa (Sharman Networks) was raided but it's just a bully tactic used by RIAA. The RIAA already lost more than one trial against them.

                              Sharman networks are just the providers of the technology, not the pirates.

                              The RIAA just hopes they can drive Sharman to bankrupcy or make them close down any way they can. THAT's illegal. Meaning that if it ever happens, the owners of Sharmlan will be able to sue the RIAA for damages. But I guess the RIAA decided it was ready to loose some money in order to shut down Kazaa...

                              This whole thing is going to blow in their face (RIAA's) sooner or later...
