I agree with mobius on this one. Downloading from the newsgroups is easiest and safest. Takes some effort to learn how to do it, what with RAR's, PAR's, PAR2's and all. And if you have dial-up access you can forget it.

Movies, TV shows (hey, Mobius! You can probably download your favorite shows from a newsgroup within hours of its appearing on TV!) and virtually any kind of porn that might turn you on. It's all there.

Is it legal? I don't know. If someone puts a box of books on a table at mall with a sign that says "Free books! Take one!" is it illlegal to take it? I doubt it.

If you KNOW they are stolen, that's different. But otherwise, what's wrong with it? Posting those videos, now, that's a different story. You shouldn't do that. All of you guys posting out there? Don't! Stop!

There, I'm legal again.
