Kazaa. Safe? Legal?

From: Janie

A forum search turns up a number of threads where Kazaa is mentioned, but none within the last year.

Heard the Duhks doing a wonderful job of Camp Town Races on my local public radio station and went looking for a possible video to link to on Mudcat. It turned up on the Kazaa website. A google search on Kazaa doesn't lead to definitive current answers (at least to this techonophobe). Is it safe to download from Kazaa in terms of malware or spyware? Of equal importance, are music downloads legal?

did any body know that you never actually own any music you download in the small print it still belongs to the company you bought it from and when you have got tired of it you can not even give it away
cheers

Yeh, I use Kazaa now. It is legal, and since it is no longer a file sharing network all the downloads are totally safe - no viruses etc.

Also, much better sound quality than what it used to be!
