This thread is dangerously close to being innappropriate...

Not to worry, my dear Imperator. Rest assured that any and all uses for said P2P clients that are discussed here will remain perfectly legal. As I told Atrocities, the only music I download will be music I already have on CD, but would just prefer to have in MP3 format. And, given that my CD collection is 3000 miles away from me at the moment, popping the CD in the drive and converting it is easier said than done.

Fyron is quite right. Please note the forum rules:

Arkon, owning a piece of CD-music and downloading (and hence allow uploading in P2P) it are still two different things (at least under the law here) as these are 2 different distribution channels. See, you have a right to use the music on your PC and you might have a right of a copy (depends on your legal system) but most certainly you don't have a right to offer the music to the world to download. But YMMV.

Ummm...'Kay. Guess you ment to address that to Agent Zero ... right?

Ups, sorry!
Indeed I wanted to adress Agent Zero.

Well, I could very well be one of those nasty little leechers we've all read about who downloads but doesn't share. You never know. Anyway, on a slightly less touchy subject, does anyone know what Windows Service Pack 2 actually does? As far as I can tell it just royally fouled up my machine at home, and I didn't really recover until I'd uninstalled SP2 and reinstalled WinXP. So now I'm just wondering, am I missing anything good?
