It is not safe because you are infringing on various copyright laws and you will be punished for doing so.

I suggest you run a magnet over your hard drive.

use protection, some form of an internet condom

msn file sharing is generally of a low quality. ive never had alot of sucess with it. i'll only use it for files <25megs in size, or if its my only contact with a person.

never use msn for serious file transfers of a large size. its not a good file transfering setup - look for something alot more stable, like an ftp transfer, ICQ, or DCC in mIRC.

new msn 7.0 is blocking all media transfers that I know of.

MSN 7 dont allow to send potencial dangerous files like .exe's. Try to rename the extension or compress the files.
Good luck.

MSN is a pain for sharing files.

Try FTP.

i personally just rename the files to *.gif or something like that.. that usually gets around the msn bug.. and once the file's done, then i get the person to rename the file. simple
