    I wonder how sites like this[^] manage to exist? You can literally download a plethora of illegal mp3s from this site. Anyone got any idea?

      Did you try to download one? It takes you off to another site, and then forces you to download an application, which will then probably force feed you advertising, and take over your machine...........

          Yes, I did and it works without me having to go away from this site. I know there are other sites like this as well. I was just wondering whether these sites not hosted in US has got something to do with them being still in existence? or is it some other thing I am missing?

            Wrong! It actually just links to the files located somewhere else.

              Yes, but then the question is why do those repositories exist from where anyone can download illegal music? And why those aren't cracked down?

                  Charley and I were on the internet Then this pop-up said would I like to download some mp3's. And I clicked yes. And I was going to download when Charley stopped me. Charley reminded me my mum says I shouldn't go off on web-sites I don't know. Then the site went away. We went and told mummy and she said we had been very good. I got an apple and Charley got something he likes. He says never go anywhere with men or ladies you don't know.

                      That will certainly make a difference, yes. Hosting copyrighted materials is not necessarily against the law everywhere (e.g. China or other Far Eastern countries seem to have a different attitude to piracy, or Sweden – c.f. Pirate Bay), and it is also not enforced everywhere (e.g. Russia). US law doesn't have any weight in such places.

                                My Mummy used to say to me when I was a child "If a strange man comes up to you in the street, and offers you sweeties to get in his car...GO!" I never used to listen to what my Mummy said to me when I was young.

                                  I remember as a child the excitement when the first snow came, I'd run to the door and shout "Come on guys, you know the deal! Let me in!"

                                      I remember as a child the excitement when the first snow came, I'd run to the door and shout "Come on guys, you know the deal! Let me in!"

                                      I remember, as a child, being warned not to open the cellar door. One day I did and saw many wondrous things. Trees. Sunlight. People.

                                        Sorry, I can only award a single 5! Also: When I was 14 my parents moved house. I often wonder where they went...

                                          My Mummy used to say to me when I was a child "If a strange man comes up to you in the street, and offers you sweeties to get in his car...GO!" I never used to listen to what my Mummy said to me when I was young.

Rather, the round globe is a vast head, a brain, instinct with intelligence!" - Nathanial Hawthorne, House of the Seven Gables
