No probably not! LOL But the fact that he is going around saying it can't be done just bothered me. Besides, I don't know if a 5 or 10 second clip would really be enough. Like I told him, I provided him with links and some information on the programs so if he wanted to really find out for himself, he could try it. But, I guess some people enjoy showing how little they know, so if that's his goal in life, he succeeded. LOL I let him know that it was now up to him to try these programs out and see for himself, and that I was not going to simply sit and fight with him about it.

I think it is legal, as long as you don't sell it or record with it. After all, IMO MTU wouldn't be promoting Vogone if it were, would they? (At least I don't think they would?)
