Second, if your son would want these kind of wares, he shouldn't pay for them. The whole "Warez" concept is that people should get software, music, movies etc. for FREE! The ones "selling" and earning money on things they get for free are frauds and should be castrated.

I advice you and your son not be involved in such things.

I think that , by telling everything is illegal , you overreact a little.

There are several legal download/sharing services. Even in the United States. Rhapsody is a nice example for instance. And what to think about iTunes ?

Thing is ; Most legal download/sharing services have various (somtimes extreme) content protection , to make sure that person #1 doesn't " give " away his music to person #2. This makes such services very very unpopular.

I'm not saying that there are much legal download and sharing services on the internet , but please give them a fair chance.

If one would like the latest in games in a legal way. I would suggest to take a peek at the GameSpy website , which offers some excellent content for the eager (legal) gamer.

Legal music and no downloads ? Try Shoutcast. Zillions of music radio stations.
