legal?
Torrents and all p2p software is legal. JUst don't download copyrighted material and you are fine. The trick is figuring out what is okay to download. I heard, though I'm not sure, that it is legal to download a movie or album that you already own because it is legal to make a copy of your stuff on your computer. However you can't let people who don't own it download it from you. Say you own "In the Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson, it is legal for you to rip that to mp3 on your computer, so It would be legal for you to download that from p2p which would be the same thing. But I guess it would be illegal to download it from someone who doesn't own it. I actually don't know what is legal anymore. Can you download a t.v. show? I have a t.v. tuner card and can record directly off of cable. Is that legal?
Rule of thumb, don't download anything that's less than two weeks old, still in theaters, or you don't already own. And don't let anyone download from your I guess.
I would get specific, but i don't want to be censored from this glorious forum.
