Questions regarding uploading (1 Viewer)

OK, i've got 3 questions...

1) Do you recommend any website service where i can upload mp3's for free? For people to download directly...

2) Does optus charge download usage if i upload mp3s?

3) If i don't disable file sharing from my kazaa software, and people download my stuff do i get charged for download usage?

Watch out for the RIAA if you're going to host mp3's off your computer

I have never heard of anyone in Australia getting busted for sharing music.

The only people i heard got busted sharing files through Kazaa are all in America or am i wrong?

theres a court case going on atm in australia about kazaa, the music companies reckon its being run from australia, but theres so little evidence about how it all works and whos in charge that they'll find it prettty hard to prosecute people

Just create a file server on irc, it's user friendly & it's free. The RIAA most probably won't go looking for file sharers on there.

As far as i know, the OptusNet Cable Internet service does not include uploads in your quota.

No, uploads are different to downloads.

You mean kazaa.. All the movies on irc are great.. Well the 700mb - 1.5gb DVDRips, DVDScrs are good. You can also get DVD Vobs from irc, so please tell me how that is crap quality.

The ones on kazaa with 140mb file size suck ass.

it really depends though
if you know how to search for movies or not
