Richie there is no excuse for not paying for music, especially with a service like napster which lets you listen online to the music available for download.

Listen to over 750,000 full-length songs on-demand
• Collect songs to your hard drive to listen to offline
• Purchase tracks to burn to CD, transfer to a portable device or listen on your PC

p2p is only going to get worse with the bpi and riaa cracking down, they are never going to stop and yes the chances of the average user getting busted are remote and winmx is one of the clients which contains p2p users being watched by the bpi.

so if you like music do a paper round or work on a market stall, earn some cash and spend it on legal downloads.
