Piracy

Which are the best sites for illegal music downloading?  I need to know so I ensure these are blocked to stop the kids infringing any copywrite and landing me in court.

This is the most suspect question i've ever heard! Anyway, your kids will be no doubt using Limewire. This is a peer-to-peer file sharing program ie: someone who wants an MP3 you have has a direct link to your hard drive, and likewise, your hard drive connects to other peoples to get an MP3 you want. My uncle's daughter uses this and I spent 3 hours untangling a horrible mess of spyware this had put on his hard drive, so watch out. Use a program called AdAware if you are using Limewire, and this should weed out any spyware/malware hidden in your files. Better still, remove Limewire....

I hope people are not insinuating that I have no kids and am just trying to find out what the best illegal download sites are.  I have a great deal of respect for copyright laws and the entertainment industry as a whole.

Remove any P2P software from your computer, and give the children limited accounts that do not allow them to install software. Problem solved.

don't worry, iwa99etc, there is no need to panic, you won't end up in court just because of us ...

Damn. I have no kids and I was following this thread hoping to find the best illegal download sites.
And I've have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids!!

Bearshare, Kazza and Limewire are the common three.
