I'll occasionally use Hotline. Hotline is a perfectly legitimate application for sharing files, such as newsletters, FAQs, public domain PDF files, shareware, and such like. It's very good for transferring large files, because it allows you to resume broken downloads. This is fantastic if you want to share large files, such as high resolution Photoshop files that can be huge, over the net. Because you can set up your own server with it, it's also used for Warez. Actually, anybody can use their own computer and internet connection for Warez if they've a mind to do so, without Hotline or any similar program; simple web sharing, which is fairly standard (at least on Macs it is), is enough. IIlegalizing every application that makes it easy to share files a perfectly normal, reasonable thing to want to do is just going to make people mad and Warez kiddies smarter, because they're going to do it anyway. I'll have to agree with beav1. Educating folks is the best answer. There are always going to be people who don't carebut hopefuly, the more they use the software and files they've downloaded, the more they understand the complexity of the stuff they're using, the more they'll appreciate the time and work that went into these. I've no problem with someone learning that way, if they learn.
