Well Mike, I'm sure you will get new "wives" in jail. As for the CD, a definite no. Whatever you have downloaded from the Gnutella network must be uploaded again!

Hi Popol
Apparently my dear wife joined the official site Frostwire site and £40.00 was for firewall and other stuff you could have uncovered a secret plot
I told how what she was doing was illegal and the big sheriff was coming to take her away . She went away in the car so either she is heading to the Indian territory or it could be shopping!
I will have to plead guilty as charged to 4 tracks plus using the VCR last week
any chance they will go easy on me for diminished responsibilities I am sure I could produce charcter witnesses to this effect or will it be 100 years in the big house for me.
From what I hear of prisons these days as long as I dont bend over it might be like a nice holiday stress free no council tax no mortgage no wife no children
Bet you they have free internet and (maybe) frostwire
Starting on my ulcer now

So you are trying to put the blame on your wife now? I guess that is to be expected. Typical criminal behavior to first boast about your crimes and then turn the blame to someone else when the heat is on. There is no excuse for what you have done and there is no punishment severe enough. All I can say is don't drop your soap you hardened pirate.
Give my best to the warden.

PS. Are we off topic?

Hi Vera
Frostwire is a file sharing application you can buy via internet. You pay around £40.00 to join and get the software. It is legal and anything you download is for personal use only.
I think the id id frostwire.com
The application comes with its own firewall and antivirus and is contained within your own system. You can choose to place music or video clips within frostwire and decide whether you want to share with other users.
To use it you type in song or an artist and scan results. Each user is rated and you go for the highest rating as information is quicker to download.
When you have the information on frostwire you can copy it to CD using a cd burner or putting it on a play list in Itunes which is the ipod software.
It is great for getting the odd song of artists that you would not want to buy a cd
of and saves wear & tear on proper cds in the car.
My other half got it so she had the learning curve and I asked the questions.
When you consider itunes cost 17 pence per song you soon get your money back.
The added benefit for me is that there are soundtrack selections which is how I came upon the 4 John Wayne tracks

Sorry to have to break it to you DP, but you have been the victim of a scam. Frostwire is a completely free peer to peer sharing software(and no doubt the bundled software you got). Unfortunately all these applications produce a number of scam sites wich give the users the impression that they can download copyrighted material legally, which of course is not the case. Furthermore they lure you into paying for software they themselves have stolen and rebundled.
Frostwire in itself is a completely legal piece of software, but regardless of where you get it, it is still illegal to download copyrighted music, movies or software. There are files you can legally download using these clients, but they are generally of little interest.
Don't get me wrong, I don't care if some of you people want to use P2P software and download stuff that is hard to find, but you should be aware of what you are doing. If you find sites that claim that you can download on a membership basis then you should think twice before joining or downloading. Usually you are just paying for software that is free, often bundled with their own spyware, and then breaking laws when you start using it.
For information on how this works try

For information on gnutella clients (Limewire, Frostwire, Bearshare, Phex etc.) and scam sites:

Besides being illegal and putting you at risk of being sued or prosecuted, there is also a good chance of picking up spyware and virus if you don't know what you are doing.
