]]> Comment on File downloading – when will they finally learn… by Jenny http://www.benking.me.uk/2009/10/28/file-downloading-when-will-they-finally-learn/comment-page-1/#comment-105840 Jenny Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:54:44 +0000 http://www.benking.me.uk/?p=136#comment-105840 Well said, take all of mp3 .com (in russia i think). this proves that people are willing to pay for music, even at a fraction of the cost of buying the CD. My other half used this site A LOT before it was shut down. Downloaded a lot of music he would never have come across and subsequently then bought the CD itself, making money for the music (greedy) business. Also, he downloads programmes he has missed or is on currently, basically because he doesn't have time to watch them when they are actually on TV. He also downloads films, sometimes before they're in the cinema, but a lot of the time results in him buying the DVD. He buys blu rays now so they're more expensive. He owns about 600 normal DVD's and probably around 100 Blue rays now. So we really don't see the problem in downloading music, tv programmes and films!!! That's what I think anyway! Well said,

A couple of days ago my hotmail was hacked.. apparently the hacker was a guy who'd hacked into one of my friend's accounts and he asked me for my password 'to get my msn working' (that's what he said' and he changed the password, alternative email and secret question!! One of my closest friends kept pestering him for my password (apparently he started a conversation with my friend and thankfully I'd told him what happened) and I tried ringing Microsoft (UK) and they didn't help.. thankfully this morning I decided to try and log in with my old password before I filled in the Password Reset form and to my surprise, it logged in!! The hacker must have changed it after my friend pestered him for it (the hacker said sorry on my MSN tagline) so I've changed the alternative email, secret question and I've made a stronger password, and the hacker has been blocked and deleted. If you've been hacked, use this form to ask MSN for a password reset: https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx .. give them as much info as possible and they'll get back to you within 24 hours. Thankfully my MSN is ok now! Tip: Use a strong password and NEVER give out passwords! Don't make the same mistake as me!! Rach :) I’ve been in the same situation as you lot.

Mistakes do happen at times and are put right by skilled warranty technicians but unfortunately there are a select number of people who like to try "pulling one over" on us...claiming we have done this and that to their car. Too many people these days are out to get something for nothing. All in all, we should get things like this in perspective....yes this is 2009 and we expect to get what we want quickly and when we want it....fair enough....but we are far too quick to moan in this country about anything....let's remember there are people dying in foreign lands for their country...people suffering quietly with terminal illnesses and people all around the world in poverty, affected by war and disease. So let's all just stop and think the next time we are about to open our mouths and moan....is it warranted?
