I found some site they say we can download unlimited music but we have to pay them like a dollar a month. Is that legal? That's a site say theirs is 100% legal. Should I trust them?

what website is it that tells u its legal

This one http://www.mp3downloadhq.com "Millions are downloading, now it's your turn
100% Safe, 100% Legal, 100% Fun! "

to me that site reeks of rip-off.

I was browsing around the site to check it out, and it appears that you pay them, and they tell you to use existing p2p programs. I'm not positive, but that's sure the way it looks.

I would say DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION.

but that's just me :)

How about this one? downloads-unlimited.com
Thanks for helping!

I have a few questions.

I don't know much about downloading music online and stuff but why they ask us to use kazza to download the music? I mean wasn't kazza free in the first place? Now I have to pay a dollar a month to download stuff that's free? I don't get it. Anyone know anywhere I can download music legally? And also where is the best way to buy cds online? Thanks

How's musicdownloadcentral.com?

I mean wasn't kazza free in the first place? Now I have to pay a dollar a month to download stuff that's free? I don't get it.

that's exactly why I said it appears to be a rip-off. it appeared to me that you pay them, they tell you to use the services such as KaZaA.

those other two look the same. I browsed the terms of service, and they sound ridiculous. bascially they say that you can't download or share anything that would be infringing on any copyrights, which basically means everything. without paying anyone, you can use kazaa to download stuff that's in the public domain or that copyright holders allow to be distributed freely, and it's perfectly legal. that's what those services are telling you- you pay them, and they'll let you do that.

I would say stick with an established paid downloading service (like Napster, iTunes, etc.).

there is ony two thing that make downloading music legal...

you use a program that you pay a $ per song and download it. (these programs usualyl have specials like 1$ per song or $15 per cd if there is like 20 songs ont eh cd)

OR

if you are using winmx of kazaa for downlaoding ti is LEGAL to download the music if you ahev already bought the cd. because copyright laws state that you are alloud to have a backup of anything you own that is electronic. in other words, burning playstation games is legan if you own the game. burning cd's is legal if you own the cd. making a image of a programs is legal f you own the program. etc. etc... this is all legal as long as you dont redistribute the software. (most software cd's nowadays come with a copywrite thing that wont let you makean image of them) which gets me mad cause sometimes i scratch cd's. arg.

what are some site I can download $ per song and stuff?

"I would say stick with an established paid downloading service (like Napster, iTunes, etc.)." wan't Napster got introuble for downloading illegal music long ago?

yes but they reopened and they charge now. they did a huge napster is back campaign a few months ago.

if you are using winmx of kazaa for downlaoding ti is LEGAL to download the music if you ahev already bought the cd.

if you allready bought the cd, then why download the song again? wouldn't it be easier to put in the cd, copy the song to the computer and listen to it? hmm...

downloading music FREE is illegal because you are getting it without paying, however programs itself like KaZaA and KaZaA Lite are not illegal since they don't store the songs in the program itself, they only connect users to users.

is mp3rox.com the like another site which use existing p2p programs?

www.limewire.com is free.. it's only illegal to share, i don't think it's illegal to download. the kids that were fined for downloading free mp3s online were only caught because they had not disabled sharing... the investigator people search for songs, movies, etc. and catch the people who's names come up with whatever they searched for. they're not as sneaky as you would think :lol:

there's also www.morpheus.com. i have that right now, but i don't like it much, it confuses me :P

<edit> er.. well i just read mirna's post and she appears to be correct. it is illegal to download free. but you don't get caught if you don't share. still, that doesn't change the fact that it's bad :buckt: </edit>

really? How do you know all this stuff? Is everybody suppose to know about this beside me?

haha no, i think i read it somewhere.

So those RIAA caught was those that share music?

What is spyware?

sure. :D you all do know that i'm not a completely 100% reliable source, right? but think about it logically, no one who disabled sharing was ever caught. so i'm 98% sure.

google definition: Spyware - A general term for a program that surreptitiously monitors your actions. While they are sometimes sinister, like a remote control program used by a hacker, software companies have been known to use spyware to gather data about customers. The practice is generally frowned upon.

the way i understand it, spyware programs put cookies in your computer and can even track everything you do on the internet [websites you go to, things you download, etc.]. they often make excessive ads pop-up. it sucks.

Ok, I found this one site and we have to pay $1/month to download music. I asked What if someone share a copyrighted material? Will there any copyrighted material? and they gave me this answer which kinda confuse

Their answer:
"Receiving and hearing copyrighted material, whether by radio, concert, or Internet, is legal. Capturing and re-transmitting it is not. Our tools either download only or can be set to download only."

What they confuse me is do they mean "Capturing THEN re-transmitting"?
They also say "Receiving and hearing copyrighted material....is legal" Now that I don't get. Isn't download music not legal?

hmn it seems to me like they're saying what i said- downloading and listening to music it legal but letting others get it from you is not.. er.. ? i don't really get it either :(
