I would a add a big caution on that list for sites that let you download mp3s but try to fool you into installing spyware.

The sites I have in mind are:

http://www.legacymp3.net

http://www.simplemp3s.com

http://www.crazymp3s.org

http://www.21-century-mp3.nu

Sites like these uses lies and deciet to try and make you install rogue activeX controls and spyware dialers/programs.

For example, when using IE you will be bombardiered with these

and it will not accept no for an answer. It will display

(which is a big lie)

and then keep popping up the window again and again and again. It will never go away. There is only one of these you need to click Yes on and that is a Java Applet box from company when you are ready to download"WakeNetAB"

I'm glad in XP SP2 there is an option to "always choose no" to applets such as that.

[Ken]

That's dirty enough to make the list.

Thanks Bombardier.

"File Sharing Center is surely one of the very best sites to download music, movies, players, and lots more. Its really worth being a member here. I love this site. "

Did filesharingcenter make up that testimonial or did one of the employees say that?

:rotfl:

[Ken]

Both new suggestions added.

Thanks.

www.napster.co.uk

They are charging £1.09 a track. I'd be surprised if anyone fell for it, but still worth adding.

That definitely is a scam site.

Add www.napster.com to the list too :good job:

[Ken]

Those pay royalties, and are licensed.

Not a scam.

Can't add them.

I'm 99% sure you're just joking, but i'm just making sure.

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

also, a search of p2p scam sites turns this page as #1

[Ken]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

fukrulez.com

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time to make a list like this, and it still sounds like a good idea.

It's the collective will of the entire P2P community, that wants those willing to tarnish P2P, to be revealed.
