I downloaded a script from: http://www.mp3backups.com/cgiwarez/ . But somebody pointed out to me that most of their scripts are copyrighted material and should not be used without the authors pemission. How do I know which scripts can be used and which ones cant ? A desperate Newbie !!!

Slimboy, the name should give it away. If it says warez, it means that it is pirated and illegal. I would stay away from that site. Try hotscripts.com or cgi directory.

Hey, thanks for the advice and links. It turns out that the script I was using was freeware. My first time into the world of cgi you know. Thanks again, your post was appreciated.

i agree with mairving. The funny thing is that they want you to pay them money to become a member of the site. Paying to use illegal material?..no thanks!
