There is nothing illegal about peer-to-peer networks, and nothing illegal with using them to distribute files. What is illegal is to use these networks and associated software to download material which is protected by copyright.
It is not always obvious what is still copyright protected, though you can be fairly certain that anything recent, such as recent chart hits or new computer games, cannot be legally copied using P2P software. Blockbuster films will also be copyright protected, but there are many films which have been specifically made for free distribution.
There are lots of new artists who use peer-to-peer networks to get themselves known. There are many computer games which are released on P2P networks to have them tried out prior to fixing the bugs and releasing them for general sale. This is the one aspect of the use of P2P services that makes me think of the morality of such networks rather than the legality.
The reasons for observing copyright restrictions are well know. Copyright is a protection of an artist’s work from plagiarism and unauthorized copying. If everyone copied every piece of music or every film from a free online service such as peer-to peer networks, then the originators and the artists would make no money from them. This would result in the breakdown of the entertainment industry, and I can understand that line of reasoning.
So don’t get me wrong. I am not proposing that people should be allowed to break the law, and I firmly agree that copyright violation should be illegal and should be punished. My argument is against the movie and music industry and their false morality in campaigning for such high fines for copyright violation by young kids while condoning, and in some cases positively encouraging, lawbreaking, obscene and improper behaviour and illegal drug taking by so called artists who are making them money.
What sickens me is the way many pop stars complain and bleat about us breaking the law, then have another snort on their line. Once they stick to the law they may be qualified to complain about others who do not. Many forget where they came from and how they got to be famous.
Have you ever heard something online that you found interesting? Have you heard a track by an unknown artist that inspired or stimulated you to find out more about the artist? I have. I downloaded something by a young girl called Amy Winehouse about three years ago. It was quite illegal, but I liked it and it prompted me to go out and find more of her work. I found she had an album called ‘Frank’, so I bought it – bought it please note, not downloaded it!
The point I am making is that had I not heard her on a peer-to-peer network and downloaded the track, I would not have bought the album and all her work since. OK, she seems a bit of an alkie and perhaps into drugs, but she is a great singer. P2P helped her to get a fan and some sales so why should she want me arrested? Perhaps too many of these egotistical superstars forget who ultimately pays them and who helped them when they were unknowns! Lot’s of people have downloaded a track or two then bought a ticket to see the act live.
Who is doing most harm: the superstar junkie keeping the pushers in a job or the school kid downloading a track from his favourite band that he can’t find in his local music store? Even if he can find it, he probably can’t afford it due the obscene prices being charged in order that the artists can afford their drugs or drinks or whatever.
This is where morality becomes an issue with me. Would the large recording companies not be better cleaning up their own act, and those of the superstars they employ, than targeting kids who are copying tracks from peer-to-peer networks? How can they bleat on about copyright infringements while they pay filthy sex and drug-ridden junkies and gun-totin’ grunters to produce the rubbish that is called music nowadays?
Once they stop breaking the law themselves, and inciting others to do so in order to increase sales, I might listen to their whining and misplaced righteousness. Didn’t many of these so-called stars use these internet services to advertise themselves until they became known? Why, then, give their approval to the RIAA and its tactics to prosecute school kids for using a service they themselves used to promote.
It would be understandable if the RIAA were prosecuting the big boys who are making fortunes by copying and selling thousands of movies and albums, such as are continually found on eBay or sold in practically every bar in the land. But no, these big guys are ignored. They are too hard to prosecute, so they target the kids for prosecution. Kids whose mums have to struggle to find the money to pay the fines. They can’t afford to buy obscenely overpriced CDs for their kids’ birthdays so where can they find the money to pay the massive fines ($30,000 - $150,000).
The morality of the movie and music industries is open to question, and we can all see the egotistical brain-dead drug-ridden examples of the people they overpay in the name of so-called entertainment on our screens every day. Once they start observing the law, acting with some decency and begin to set an example to the youth of our world – once they start displaying some morality and become proper role models for our children, then that is when I shall erase my copy of MP3 Rocket or Limewire. In any case I only use them as they should be used: to find out what is new and popular, and if I find something I like I will download it, listen to it, then go out and buy the album. That should not be illegal, yet it is.
If they want people arrested, leave the kids alone and target the consortiums that are making a lot of money by copying and marketing material downloaded from peer-to-peer networks. It’s not the law I have issue with, it’s the hypocrites who run RIAA and MPAA and also pay their law-breaking artists.

I have been inspired to make my own music on my laptop, but what’s the best music making software for that?
You could try noteworthy composer (google it to find it). I did mess around with the software a bit, and I’m sure you could compose something on it. I don’t know if it’s the best software for the job, but I’m sure it’ll get the job done.

Make Your PC Run Fast Again By Scheduling A Regular Tune Up:
Your computer is just like a fine race car! Both must be expertly maintained to run at their optimum speed and performance levels. Unlike a formula 1 racer however, your PC is relatively easy to fine-tune, and we will guide you through the process with simple step-by-step instructions.
Initial tune-up
After getting all the programs setup on your PC the way you want, there are a few tasks that will help you get the most out of your system. The following maintenance tasks should be performed initially and will form the basis of a solid tune-up program for your PC:
1. Install and Update your Antivirus & Anti Spyware software:
The last thing you need is a computer virus ruining your day by infecting your computer and either destroying valuable data, or spreading your personal information all over the internet! We cannot stress enough the importance of making sure you have a solid and reliable Anti-Virus program installed on your computer.
Spyware and Adware is almost an even bigger problem these days than Computer Viruses! If you have ever downloaded anything online, music, books, files, etc…or if you have ever installed downloaded programs on your computer, chances are you have multiple spyware infections.
Pop-up windows and windows error messages are a prime indicator of Spyware and Adware infections on your computer.
Spyware is a hidden software program created to steal your personal information, and report back to their creators with anything from your online browsing habits and patterns, to your stored credit card numbers! identity theft is a growing problem, propagated in part by Spyware!
2. Update your software and drivers
Make sure your computer has the latest video, hardware and software drivers it needs to run at optimum speed and efficiency. We recommend that Microsoft Windows Update be used on a consistent basis. Microsoft and other hardware and software manufacturers will regularly post updated drivers and fixes for their products. Most vendors use the Windows Update tool to distribute their updates.
The Windows Update tool can be accessed on your computer by clicking Start, right-click My Computer, and select Properties.
Click the Automatic Updates tab, and select Keep my computer up to date.
Keeping Windows updated can solve many errors you may experience.
3. Defragment your hard drive
Defragmenting your hard drive is an easy task that will improve your system’s speed and performance (especially noticeable with larger programs).
As you install and uninstall different software programs, data becomes scattered across your hard drive in various areas. This results in your computer taking a longer amount of time to find data it needs, which makes your system run slower. This holds true even after installing a new program on your computer.
Starting Disk Defragmenter
Using Disk Defragmenter is easy and once started will work without the need to monitor the process. Depending on the size of your hard drive and the amount of fragmented files defragmentation of your files can take up to several hours to complete. Follow the procedures below to start defragmenting your hard drive.
* 1. Shut Down all programs that are running. including background programs and screensavers.
* 2. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, then System Tools.
* 3. Click Disk Defragmenter. Follow the onscreen instructions. If Disk Defragmenter starts itself over and over, then a hidden background program is still accessing the hard drive. Restart the computer in Safe mode and try again.
4. Create a Backup Or Restore Point Regularly On Your Computer
A Virus, Spyware or other bug could easily wipe out your data without chance of recovery! Make sure you are regularly backing up any data you don’t want to lose (burning it to disk is an easy and cost effective way of backing up important data).
Microsoft offers a Data Backup to automate the process, A virus or software bug could wipe out data without any chance of recovery. Devise a strategy for backing up your files now. Any important data that you do not want to lose should be backed up regularly. This can be done in any of a number of ways. Simply write the files to a floppy diskette, USB drive, or a CD-R. You might also consider using RecordNow!’s System Backup or Microsoft’s Data Backup to automate the backup process.
5. Clean Your Computer Registry Regularly
If you’re running any version of Windows on your computer, then you have a Windows registry. This Windows Registry is where all the information about your computer is stored. The registry includes installation data about the software you run and all of your computer’s preferences, settings, and registry keys. Everything about your computer is essentially stored in your windows registry.
Over time, as you install new programs, delete others, and use your computer, the Windows Registry grows. Sometimes you will get errors when you start your computer. In extreme instances you will experience computer freeze-ups and possibly even system crashes. Your computer can start running ’slower’ as well, which makes for annoying and time consuming ‘hang’ times, where you essentially stare at your monitor in a trance, waiting for control of your mouse cursor to be restored to you once again!
Fortunately, there is an easy solution to Registry build-up. You need to run a registry cleaner tool on a regular basis (depending on computer usage). This software will scan your Registry to find the unnecessary data and delete it…the end result should be a computer that runs as fast as the day you brought it home!
RECOMMENDED: Put Your Computer Tune Up Schedule On Auto Pilot by downloading and running our recommended Free PC Optimizer: RegCure.

I want to try it just for fun. I don’t want viruses in it, but if there is no good free software is there any worth buying? Any ideas?
I am a music newbie.
If it’s free it is because it is not worth selling. If you want to produce music, invest what you can afford and you’ll be glad you did. i tried my hand at a cheap setup in the past and the music sounded cheap + you’re very limited in what you can create.
Buy decent software / hardware with a friend to share the cost. Best advice I can give.

Blog Ideas
Tutorials and How-to’s:
These are very good ways to not only attract visitors, but also keep them coming back. Tutorials are very easily spread, being so useful people will constantly link them on to others!
Interviews:
On my website - (www.morbid skies.com) - I do interviews with bands and members of the music media, as my forum is based on metal music. If for example, your ‘niche’ is forum and website administration, it’s a good idea to interview administrators of popular websites or forum/website software developers!
Make sure your interviews are related!
Questions:
Have an area where people can ask questions, then answer them in a set post time (weekly for example).
Get the Users involved:
If you want your users to get involved and keep coming back, allow them to submit articles. I would however, advise that you view them before they are displayed to the public!
Reviews:
Reviews are always a good read! If you’re running a gaming blog, review games. Running a movie blog? Review movies. So on and so forth.
Mission Statement:
People need to know what your blog is about, provide them with a mission statement. (mission statement; the objectives and aims of a business and/or organisation)
Welcome Message:
Would you go to a new school without being welcome? No. So don’t invite people to your blog without being welcomed! Here is mine (top right); http://twisted-concept.blogspot.com/ - Excuse the blog content, it is a very confined niche!
Pictures:
Personally, I never add pictures to my blog posts, but that’s because it is based on horror and literature. However, I have a handful of images down the right side to make it easier on the readers eyes and create more of an atmosphere!
In-linking:
If you make a post about course choices in college, and you already have one about colleges in your local area, link to the other post! Do this with any genre naturally…
Cartoons:
Cartoons are great fun! For example, if you’re making a post about the occupation of the Rhineland after WW1, post one of David Low’s (an political cartoonist of the time) anti-appeasement cartoons!
Debating:
Take a post from a rival site/forum/blog (don’t be offensive) and argue against it in your post. This will spark a debate, which involves nice traffic numbers!
Split Posts:
This can be great, or very ‘un-great’. End the first post with a question, such as… So we know now that Manchester City want Kaka, in part 2 we’ll discuss if Kaka wants Manchester City.
Polls:
Everybody loves polls! You only need one on your main page and you instantly have a way for people to interact with your blog. I had one asking if my stories were gruesome enough, make it relative!
