Re: Is WINMX down?

I think the sad fact is (well, sad for use freeloaders!) that the widespread availability of legal music downloads is killing the likes of Kazaa and WinMX.

I've always been a hardcore music downloader, but now I can get good quality versions of the songs I want for 79p or so, without having to wait from being 99th in a queue, I'm quite happy to pay. Itunes has a pretty good selection, haven't tried Napster or Wippit yet, but the last time I used WinMX I got a virus. Has illegal file-sharing had its day?

Think movies are a different matter, hence the popularity of Bittorrent, but for a 4MB song I don't think 79p is unreasonable.
