Many of us underpaid college students cannot afford to buy every single CD or song their heart has ever desired. What's worse is that songs and albums bought on iTunes cannot be shared or even played on computers that aren't "authorized". These issues only fuel our passion for file sharing. But be warned, while downloading songs is not illegal- sharing them is. Some unfortunate people are finding this out the hard way: getting charged $10,000 for every shared song.
Check out the video here.
For those avid downloaders, you can turn off file sharing on most clients in the preferences. Also, make sure you unselect the option that says "search for music to share on hard drive".
Plus, be careful of getting bugs in your system from these clients. If you notice your computer is running slower than usual or you are experiencing problems, those might be a sign that it's time to say goodbye to these clients. Bit torrents are a much safer alternative and there are many free ware clients available for these little treasures. Of course the safest is no client at all, but what fun is that?
