The first ever, free & legal music downloader.

Pretty nice, bit buggy, but its only on v0.2 Beta, so bugs are likely really. :)

[Hitman]

How is it free AND legal? :P Surely there's some cost...

No, they pay the record labels to allow them to use their songs in royalties. And they compensate other people listening to their songs by adding adverts. :)

[jesus]

i'll still use limewire :)

[Awfy]

It's the most pointless piece of software ever, it's a music downloader that can't download yet... :S

What are you on about? It can download.

And its the first & only free and legal music software. You cannot use anything else, as its illegal.

[lScottl]

i downloaded it and it's crap, it crashes whenever i download a song

[dannyisnotamazing]

I can't even download a song? The pages won't load for me, its so stupid and buggy.
It's so hard to even figure out how to use it anyway.

[N!ck]

This has been out longer than Qtrax i think? http://www.spiralfrog.com

When I click download on a song it says "Downloads coming soon...".

Because it's not supported for Scots' yet.

Don't be racist, we're "Scottish" not "Scots" just like someone from Pakistan is a "Pakistani" not a "****".

It's no different than calling a British person a Brit.

As it is, if a P word is racist then so is calling someone a Scot.

[N!ck]

As it is, if a P word is racist then so is calling someone a Scot.

Then so is calling someone a Brit or Aussie.

Yes, all those terms are racist. However because people are so narrow minded, if the general population of a country is white, then you can call them whatever you want. However if they are black then it's "You're different from us, so we'll protect you". Kinda thing. So if people call me a Scot, then I should be allowed to call someone from Pakistan the P word.

Nice logic there....

Apparently p2g is better than limewire... Although I don't know. Just download torrents usually.

[Firehorse]

When I click the url the website doesn't come up?

Please explain how it is racist.

The P word for Pakistani is considered worldwide to be an offensive term
and is used in a derogatory fashion. The word Scot, Brit, Aussie etc are just shortened words for the place they live and are not considered worldwide to be derogatory. Thats my understanding, anyway.

I suggest you google both words and see what comes up.

[le harry]

dont call me aussie i get offended.......................................... ...............

And since when was the P word not a shortened version of Pakistani?

How is it racist? ROFL! Scottish isn't a race?!?

[N!ck]

They are part of the human race.

[stratosphere]

Scottish is a Nationality? White, Black, Asian would be more race?

[N!ck]

Technically, they could be defined as subspecies, but not a different race i don't think?

Edit: Some definitions - subspecies: (biology) a taxonomic group that is a division of a species; usually arises as a consequence of geographical isolation within a species

[stratosphere]

Well on the terms of race, people in Scotland could be any race? People from Scotland as a group would be called Scottish. Just like a group of people from Britain are British, people from Ireland are Irish etc.

Well in your terms of race, people in Pakistan could be any race? People from Pakistan as a group would be called Pakistanis. Just like a group of people from Britain are British, people from Ireland are Irish etc

Going by that logic you're saying it's perfectly alright to go to Pakistan and call everyone there a P---
The difference is the way in which it's used. I often say the P word without meaning any offence, just as a shortened term, but I know a lot of people who would take offence so I'm careful about the company I'm in if I say it.

They can't be, it's in the rules :) Aslong as the posts relate to an earlier psot in the thread.
