So I find that legal downloads has a bunch of songs i would like. But you can't pay by paypal you need to do so via e-gold or a credit card. Also, you have to pay on another site. What's it all about?

Wrt p2p i'm starting to get a bit worried about how much i've downloaded. I've heard of encryption - can you do so and still play the songs??

confused

Record companies have concentrated on trying to scare p2p users, rather than making legal downloading easier.

Booooooooo, they deserve everything they get.

thats a bit strong, an eyeroll and a snigger might be more appropriate.

you listen to weird stuff eh. i dont know what e gold is and i dont have a credit card either so i cant offer any advice other than tracking down a bb where people who like that sort of thing hang out and see if someone is kind enough to share.

it does sound scary, just listening to some guy screaming. do you like being scared? does it thrill you? im scared of heights but i love the buzz i get from rollercoasters and that. and i do enjoy a good scary movie.

i think screamy music would just hurt my brain though.

you didnt ban him again did you? surely the stuff he posts in libcommunity is no more inane annoying and pointless than what several other people post? i think you lot are extra harsh on lem, it seems unfair.

We've been lazy. Please don't waste our time by trying to re-register.

You've been banned, because you received a permanent ban, and then re-registered.

We gave you numerous chances, and then gave you a permanent ban. Do you understand what that means?
