Limewire and Bearshare are littered with viruses and poor quality mp3s. I would sooner pay and get proper quality than to risk viruses for shitty quality mp3s and screener movies.

Napster is still alive and well. Only the pirates stopped using it.

you’re being a bit naive. what happened to Napster after it went legit? Basically it’s now gone and very few people use it. After people found that they had to PAY (boy, that’s a concept that’s sure new!), they all went away.

Now people are using Limewire, Bearshare where they are getting it for free. My point is, once you start charging for content, there will be much fewer people willing to use the program.
