You are allowed by law to use kazaar and also permitted to download material from the site onto your computer but that is where it has to remain to prevent any laws being broken but you are not allowed to transfer anything that has a copyright attached to it which counts for almost everything on kazaar either onto your mp3 mp4 tape cassette CD DVD or any other devices you want to copy onto as that will be committing an offence and the reason why you are permitted to use kazaar is because it is a peer to peer file sharing site and when you download music onto your computer you arnt actually classed as copying it because it has been shared with you but as soon as you then decide to make a copy of it onto any other type of media player or any other disc that's where the law comes into it and you are breaking the copyright law and are liable for prosecution if you are ever caught doing so also these file sharing sites such as kazaar and Limewire contain sooo many viruses and bugs and illegal material that you are not aware of because people can give their files which they are sharing with the world any title whatsoever and that means that just because as far as you are aware have downloaded something which you innocently believe to be lets say Star Wars the movie it could in fact be child pornography or something else that could be illegal to have on your computer or anywhere else for that matter and once you have had something on your computer it is extremely difficult to erase all traces of it completely so be aware of this andonly download trusted files that has been downloaded by other users and ranked as being safe ok.

Is Kazaa legal?

ANSWERKazaa is actually a legal program but because of the way it's used, its developing company and several users have already been sued for copyright violation.Uploading or downloading works protected by copyright without the authority of the copyright owner is an infringement of the copyright owner's exclusive rights of reproduction and/or distribution. Anyone found to have infringed a copyrighted work may be liable for statutory damages up to $30,000 for each work infringed and, if willful infringement is proven by the copyright owner, that amount may be increased up to $150,000 for each work infringed.$100M worth of damages previously settled by Kazaa in favor of recording companies, private individuals who obtain through Kazaa mp3s and other copyrighted files have also been sued by parties in interest, monetary payments averaging $3,000 were paid by several people. In particular, a single mother had to pay $9,250 for each of the 24 songs they had accused her of stealing.ANSWERYes. Kazaa is a legal program. However, the uses it is primarily put to are not. Downloading copyrighted music, videos, and software without the permission of the author / artist is illegal. Due to it being used primarily for this purpose, the creators of Kazaa have been sued for being a sort of "enabler" for piracy. Really, though, this charge could just as easily be levied against Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, since they also allow you to download files regardless of their legality.ANSWER(best)Since 2008 there has been a new owner of Kazaa who made unlimited,unrestricted, and safe downloads at a monthly phone bill fee. It is now completely legal (for now).


Are Kazaa's free music downloads legal?

As with most 'free' downloads, the process itself of downloading can be classified as illegal. Use these websites at your own risk.

What do you do if you get sued for using LimeWire?

I think its ~$4000 per file. Check here. http://moviedownloads.pxdco.com You do not get sued for Internet piracy unless your selling it for money. If you are using it for your own use then you just get fined not sued.
