Page 1 of P2P not safe according to Sky News

According to this IT guy using P2P is not safe at all and people can have their confidential data/information stolen quite easily. Scary...

why take life so seriously..its not like you are going to make it out alive

I`m not entirely sure Sky`s motives on this `news` should be taken at face value.

90% of material transferred via any kind of P2P program is copyright protected, and it`d be a fool that tells you they only share their own pictures and personal files over public sharing systems.

Truth is, a half-decent firewall will protect you enough, plus you can individually specify which files you share. It`s Murdochy scare-mongering atgain

Murdoch is scare mongering over the Virgin/NTL malarky. Some people that no longer get sky one but still want to watch American TV shows will find other means rather than subscribing to Sky

My computer gets attacked all the time!
Is great piece of software though.

Well this alleged Murdoch scare mongering must of affected the BBC and ITV as it`s on their channels, or is Murdoch secretly controlling those companies as well.
