Request for help (need information)
Family member who didn't want to listen to me is paying $5 a month to use WinMX.
Something about faster servers..... *shrug* They are under the belief that since they are paying for the service it must be legal. Can anyone point me at the web page that they would have found this on? No surprise the offical winmx.com page has nothing about this. Help?

There are numerous scam sites making money from ignorant people by selling p2p software that is available for free. They also seem to advertise that using their software is legal, which is interesting in relation to the present RIAA campaign.
Anyway, here are a couple of WinMX related sites. The monthly rate seems to be rather 1-2 $ than the 5 $ you mentioned. http://www.mp3downloadhq.com/index.asp?source=ov-winmx http://www.madeformusic.com/winmx.asp?source=82890 - tg |

Every p2p client worth having is available for free, anything that costs is a scam. WinMX is free (and even better, spyware free), and for your own good you should always download it only from their own official website. - tg |

How about ".... I think it's 5 dollars a month to get access to this huge database of stuff..."
Now I remember why I stopped doing tech support for family members. The search continues. EDIT: I think we have a winner! Quote:

i wonder what would happen if the riaa sues one of the people who pay for winmx.....would they sue the downloader or the website that charges them....the people could claim they are paying for music so they thought it was legal
