There are many users who try to DL fakes, or DL genuine files but are
held back by their lack of knowledge of how WinMX works, and their
unwillingness to learn.

U2_Vertigo(Great_Version).mp3 is always being confused for this popular
(and I'm guessing copywright-protected) song by this Irish band. It's
obviously a big misunderstanding.

What are you talking about? Whoi's told you what? And what does this
have to do with sharing files on WinMX?

Because they're not making any money either and, being corporations,
profit is sort of high on their list of priorities. As for what you're
ending up on the deal - you're not making money, and it's not your
intention, but your sharing of files is hardly selfless, given that
your sharing makes you less likely to be tagged as a leech. Not
getting money doesn't equate with "I'm just giving it away".

I didn't know we were at war.
