Is WinMX legal?

The program WinMx is legal. It allows computers to transfer data to another computer. This, unsurprisingly, is legal.

Offering copywrited material for others to download without permission of the copywrite holder is an infringement of copywrite. This is a separate thing from using WinMx, though you can use WinMx to do this. You can also use email to do this. Or Windows Live Messenger etc etc. Or Bluetooth it from your phone to another phone. Does this make mobile phones illegal? No.

Take care.
