    have you ever been to a public library?

    they dont only have books now. they have music cd's, they have DVDs. they have computer software.

    there is a little law that says libraries can check out software, but it has to be RETURNED i.e. deleted from your computer.

    so if a site set it self up an a non-profit libary you could download and check out software and would have to delete it from your computer in a set time frame.

    this would apply to movies and music as well.

    im not sure why this law havent been exploited more. but we did it back in the old BBS days.

    That would depend on the software, and if the licensing allows for it. As for movies and music, you have to bring them back, and you can NOT copy them.
