Alright, so I'm sitting here, minding my own business, when I see that a pop-up has, well, popped up. I open it up and see what it says. It's a Kazaa PM.

Ah, that makes me feel better that I'm not the only one. I was thinking, there's 3 million people on, and they send me a PM?? Thanks!

If you look back I (as well as someone else) Posted an article about this awhile back... they are sending these to people they see that are sharing illegal files in an attempt to scare you into stopping (They also recently announced they will start sending out lawsuits)

As long as you don't download music, you shouldn't have to worry.
