Spam ( not the edible version).

As with all the rest of this course we have been looking at Internet abuse. This week we studied SPAM and what it is,how to stop or control it and how to delete it. Many email clients have a down loadable spam filter and can be used to control any spam that is sent to your email address. Spam is a waste of space and although it is virtually impossible to stop, using a filter can really cut down the amount of spam that comes your way. You can regulate and block senders and you can hold the mail in a folder where you can view it if you wish. By using a spam filter you can cut down the amount of unsolicited mail that comes your way via your email address.

Legal Music (Free) Dowloads

Just back from Oz and am knackered. Today we looked at the difficulties in finding 'Legal Free Music Downloads'. When looking for music to download there are thousands of sites offering the means for you to download what you want. It may not cost you a penny but this is where hte 'Legal' part comes into it. You might download music free on the internet for years and never encounter any difficulties but then you might download one peice of music and find yourself prosecuted because it was not legal for you to download it free. It was found to be extremely difficult to find any site that told you that it was Legally Free to download anything. It seems to come down to either taking the chance and downloading what you want or going to a Pay for Download site such as ITUNES and buying your music.
