I use limewire.. I know its filled with viruses, but the trick is to play the songs before they download all the way. If you can't hear anything then stop the download cuz its a virus. That worked for me for a while. But I now have awesome virus protection and it will automatically stop the download if its a virus

correct me if i'm wrong, but every single case i've read about where the RIAA sued someone.. they were using kazaa or limewire. i don't believe they've ever gone after someone for torrents.
if someone wants to prove me wrong, feel free, i'm basing this off many months of reading slashdots' YRO section.

i may have 'shared' in music with my college dorm back in the day, but now that i have a real job i buy all of it. most of the artists i listen to deserve the money.

RIAA stopped the lawsuits - apparently it finally admitted they were ineffective.
