Hmm - Babarellany (uhm - what a long name) - at the moment this whole mp3-thing is still a little bit complicated (in law). Right at the moment they're trying to find solutions for this. I don't know how old you are but you might remember that discussion when the Audio-cassette-recorders came up and suddenly it was possible to "copy" the vinyl-records (no - I'm not 75 years old - I'm just interested in this - lol). The same happens right now with a little bit more possibilities - yes the internet. Of course the Record-companies want to forbid the whole thing. But is an mp3-song a copy or not ? Who knows, and there are even more questions going round so that even these ones who should know - don't know (I learned this whole topic during my study-time). So far I would say an mp3-copy is illegal ... but, well, even our local police station has an mp3-server (lol). So far - if you want to be total legal - sharing an mp3 is allowed as long this is strictly allowed. For Software: Look at freeware and shareware. As poser is either Free- or Shareware it is forbidden to share it (in this case - quiete simply - therefor exists a law). But I'm not a lawman - if there is someone around - I really would love to hear another opinion. Thank you. Oh - read that with the mixed signal - if you mean your IP can be scanned if you download warez or something like that ... yes, this is possible - but not so easy if you've got no exact suspect.
