Give me a break... god you guys are anal.
Filesharing doesnt mean copyrighted works. as such until you start talking about finding particular things then talking about filesharing should be permitted. As such, here we go.
if you are interested in torrents, there's Azureus (
http://azureus.sf.net) and Tomato Torrent (sorry no active addy here, give a search on google or version tracker)
Other filesharing apps include Acquisition (
http://www.acquisitionx.com/) which some like and others dislike. There's plenty of apps out there.
In fact just to prove you guys are so anal, i believe the authors of this website (
http://www.mac-p2p.com/) are run by the same people as this website.
And no, there are those regulars who might not use p2p apps for illegal purposes, but in all likelihood MOST do, sorry but mac users are not inherently more good than windows users, so quit with the freakin self-rightousness ok?
If it wasn't for p2p filesharing we wouldn't have iTMS or Napster (blah well.. you get the idea).. you wouldn't have the iPod, you wouldn't have lower cd prices now. Filesharing has made the music business quite a bit better, they might be sueing users but it certainly brought a lot to us by stealing music, now the same will be done to movies and tv shows. You want to force higher prices on us? Fine, we'll steal it until you offer us what we want at a reasonable price. Might be illegal but stealing says quite a bit, sure might be better to say "well i won't watch movies" or "i won't watch those tv shows".. that's great and all but how likely is that? by stealing you say "hey look, we wanna watch these movies, but you are making it too expensive to make it worthwhile." in a way. You can argue it all you want but peer-to-peer has made quite a drastic change in a lot of media related things in the past few years.
