and you never will. for a high-profile p2p groove operates under the radar like it's invisible. i've had a copy on my system since it was first released to the public, i can't recall even a whiff of animosity from copyright holders and i've never known why. it's the same with aim, msn, icq etc. all work great for swapping anything. course the IMs don't allow deep searches but they do enable easy transferring of coyrghted material. indeed, if p2ps vanished today, we'd all be using them tomorrow.

let me tell you, groove works just fine for swapping songs and everyone who has it knows it.

a lot of it is plain old class warfare. executives use groove so it's off the list. workers use kazaa and it's open season.
