I don't share, simply because my (sucky) provider places a bandwidth limit on its users... I can't 'move' (down- and upload together) more than 2500 mb of data a month...

Even though I'm not too worried about the risk.. Just reading one story made me turn off uploading.. They are targetting students and I'm moving into my dorm room in a week.. If I got fined any amount like that it would be about the end of my education, because I'd have to work a rediculous amount to pay it back - not worth it when you gain nothing from uploading.. hell, I've even slowed down on downloading tremendously

I no longer share due to the threat from the RIAA. I'm a college student, and that's who their targeting. They sent a subpoena to one guy that was only sharing 8 mp3 files! The RIAA thinks that they're going to gain back all of their lost business by suing all of their customers. If they were half-way intellegent, they would try lowering the cost of a new CD from almost $20 to around $10. I know tons of other students that wouldn't download and would buy the CD if they could afford it, but CDs are one of the only technologies that have remained the same price since they first came out years and years ago. The artist make their money mainly off touring, and only a bit off of CDs, so sharing isn't hurting the artists as much as they want to make you think. It's hurting the record companies and that's why the RIAA is suing everyone. The stupidest thing is that they're suing for violating the copyright laws, but the copyright laws specifically implies that to be violating it, you have to be using the music for profit. Since most users are using it for personal use only, and are not gaining profit from sharing, then all it takes is a very good lawyer, and a judge willing to reconize that there's no profit gained, for the case to be thrown out in court. If enough cases get thrown out in court, with the RIAA losing money every time, they're decide to knock it off.
When I did share, I shared on WinMX. The RIAA BS has make me stop sharing all MP3s. I was going to continue share my vids (Simpsons esposodes, SciFi eposodes, and a few music videos, nothing really I can find in stores), but then I realized that RIAA is only starting with MP3s. If their cases don't get thrown out in court, then they're go after all of the vids too. The RIAA represents the whole recording industry, so television eposodes, movies, and other video files are next on their hit-list after MP3s.

When I used kazaa (back in the day) I wouldn't share ANYTHING. I was on 56k most of the time so when people tried to download from me it always made things go slower and that was just unacceptable.

<b>No</b>...I have a 1.2 GB harddrive filled to brim of <i>you know what</i> , a Pentium 1 processor, 40 mb of ram, and a 56k! You do the math.
Old school?? Shit, I'm the <b>definition</b>!

I have downloaded, but never installed, KaZaa and KaZaa Lite.
I have seriously thought about using p2p for movies and mp3s, but my usage tends to be so limited that I don't feel the need for the capabilty to share that way. Besides, there are generally other ways that I have been able to find what I am looking for.

I stop using Kaaza after it became riddle with crap. Mainly hang in DC hubs, but when I did use Kaaza I never shared. Only becasue I was on a DSL line and upload would take my wonderful 20kb/s down to 7kb/s

I share all of my music in Kazaa Lite. Not many download the stuff I have because it's all underground rap etc.
