Watch yourself, Eurpoe just started restricing big time, straight from the /.
This BBC report details a new European Union law that 'allows companies to raid homes, seize property and ask courts to freeze bank accounts to protect trademarks or intellectual property they believe are being abused or stolen.'" Like any bit of controversial legislation, it can change massively just before being voted upon. This legislation, which originally had DMCA-like provisions (protections for technical protection measures on copyrighted works), seems to have lost them prior to passage. (I'm sure they'll be back in some new piece of legislation.) However, it does make "regular" copyright enforcement much more aggressive in the EU, with companies able to raid, confiscate and freeze the bank accounts of those accused of copyright infringement. More information: IP Justice, FFII, FFII background. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3545839.stm

"just use kazza lite,and dont share your stuff and you'll be fine"
Hmm, i don't think you understand quite how the internet works. For right now you may be fine, but once the big RIAA gets more angry, and America decides it is a good idea to follow suite from Europe, then you will not be fine.

Use iTunes and support artists instead of stealing from them please. Using Kazza ultimately affects my dads line of work as a sound engineer because when artists dont make money off their albums they dont tour and that means no work or money for my family.
