If you download more than a certain no of tracks on it, the spyware springs into action. Save your pc getting trashed
I'd use torrents for downloads, a lot safer
Use browser add-ons.
Firefox is best, and you can find an add-on called download helper. Allows you to dowload directly from sites.
Because the full song is 'gifted' to the site in question, you are not actually breaking the law, as it is for public use. Not detected as of yet, if you use add-ons like this compared to file sharing sites, which are now actively monitored.
EG- it works with player on myspace, you can download the song as it plays on the bands site. Firefox more reliable the Explorer anyway, more secure. There is one for Explorer, I'll get the name etc and post it
As for the Limewire thing, watch this space I'm looking into it.
