<p>Hi,
I’ll be a freshman in the fall and I’m wondering what most current undergrads do for downloading music? Is Brown strict at all about pirating or w/e? </p>
<p>Also, I’m willing to pay for a filesharing program - what do you guys recommend that is safe and won’t slow down my computer? </p>
<p>(I’m sorry if these are dumb questions – please help!)</p>
<p>if im not mistaken, we get napster for free.</p>
<p>I've been using limewire for a year there... no consequences... and I haven't heard of anyone getting in trouble. We do get Napster for free, too.</p>
<p>well it gives you mp3s...which is good if APPLE DOESNT CONTROL YOU!</p>
<p>haha.</p>
<p>You mean Napster gives you mp3's? It doesn't...</p>
<p>so whats the point of having napster? isnt it a legal downloading service? therefore you can download music in mp3 format and put it in daps?</p>
<p>ohh but ive heard some negative reviews about napster .. like having limited music available and things like that </p>
<p>Ilovebrown - doesn't limewire slow your computer down or give you spyware? and do you think paying for limewire would get rid of the problem of malware and stuff like that?</p>
<p>debbiebebbie -- yeah, that's why I finally ended up taking it off my computer. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Soulseek >> Limewire.</p>
<p>Does BitTorrent work, or have they closed all of the ports down to use it?</p>
<p>use mytunes (or ourtunes on mac)</p>
<p>anyone who has itunes (and there are many at brown) and you can access their music</p>
