Infact I had to remove one of the artists CD's because he got signed.

How about 37GB of free music or maybe you want to watch a movie for free. I'll leave the reader ponder what films would now be available on the last site under sensible copyright laws, hint go on IMDB and type in 1982. (Note to mods these sites do not link to copyrighted material.)

Oh and VPN = privacy.
_wtf_, what does your post have to do with VPN - which is what vmfriend was discussing.

Your example is how P2P can be used to access material legitimately - people appear to be asking how to access a VPN to access material which doesn't appear to have the copyright holders permission to be distributed; two completely different things.
