Download Music, Movies and Games for Free – A Hot Issue

Harry Rackers asked:
The Internet is used by a lot of people to download music, movies, games and various other soft wares for free. The legality of this practise is, and will be for a long time, a hot issue. Some countries want to totally stop the downloading of copy wright protected materials, like the U.S.A. Other countries, like France, want to allow this type of downloading, but only for personal use. And there are quiet a few countries who do not care at al.The Internet has no borders, and it will be a very long time before all the counties of the world have agreed on how to legislate this music, movies and games downloading.
Of course there is an etical issue.A lot of people consider the downloading, for free, of copy right protected material as theft.I have heard all the arguments by now.I did hear them in the 70’s when casette recorders became available and very popular.I heard them when CD wrighters became available and I hear them now when downloading over the Internet is becoming more and more popular.
In my opinion it is theft if you copy anything and sell it.If you copy something for your own use, that is o.k. with me.I have noticed that I, and a lot of people I know as well, still buy the “real thing” if we like it ,and I allso have noticed that I am getting selective.
I hardly buy anything anymore from the real top performers.I think they simply earn enough as it is.If I come along a new group I like I usally copy a few songs, and I might go out and score their CD if I really like them.I noticed that I must have been doing this for a long time.
I had a look at my CD’s and saw that most of the originals were indeed the earlier work of a certain group.If I had more of them, it were usualy copies.I had downloaded some how from the Internet.
I know there are quit a few people who use this “selective downloading”.A friend of mine loves the music of a certain performer, but, as he told me, he refuses to pay for his records.He refuses to contribute a single penny towards the legal team that is defending this guy in a child molest case.He has downloaded the music of this performer, for free, from the Internet.
But all this free downloading has a downside. A lot of people are having computer problems because they downloaded something from the Internet. The Internet is a jungle and there are a lot of predators around that are searching for their prey. Predators like spy ware and ad ware. Little programs that you sometimes download as well and that hide on your computer without you knowing it. Some can be very harmful indeed, like the so called key loggers. These programs “remember” every keystroke you make, and send this info to their “owners”. This way sensitive info, like passwords or credit card numbers, can get in the hands of the wrong people.
I advice every one who wants to download music, movies, games or any other program for free from the Internet to be very careful. Make sure your computer has very good spy-and ad ware protection, and when in doubt, do not download.If you are not a very experienced Internet user than the best way to download music, full length movies, games and various soft wares for free is to get a download site membership. These download sites will provide you with the right soft ware to search for, and download, all sorts of files from the Internet. They also provide a helpdesk in case you run into difficulties and need some assistance.

Top Tips To Help You Download Music And Game Effectively
December 6, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Alex Miller asked:
It is common knowledge that if you are connected to the Internet, you are able to download music and game.
However, finding sites that are actually legit and also deliver what they claim to offer is not an easy task. I have personally spent quite a lot of money on these sites and it took me about 6 or 7 attempts to find a site that delivers quality.
The most popular places to download music and game are the peer-to-peer networks. Some peer-to-peer networks are free, like limewire, and they are generally quite good especially as they are free, but they do lack overall quality. Furthermore, they are laden with viruses and Trojan horses that are designed to completely wreck your computer.
It is not a surprise that there are many negatives of such sites because they are not charging you anything for it.
If you are looking for added quality and a more extensive range I would personally recommend the paid peer-to-peer networks that are on offer. They usually charge a one-time fee, and from there you can download as much music and game as you like. No extras fees will be demanded from you in the future.
The quality is far higher than on the free sites, especially when it comes to downloading games. When trying to download games on the free sites, it is common to actually download something completely different to what the file name says. This is extremely frustrating when you have waited hours for the download to complete.
Furthermore, the download speeds of the paid sites are much quicker, and if you have a decent broadband connection you will be flying!
However, even though the paid sites are far better than the free ones to download music and game, you must still be very careful which ones you select.
As I stated earlier, I have done quite a lot of research into this field. I would like to offer you some tips on spotting those sites which are more likely to be dishonest ones:
1. Paid sites should only charge you a one time fee. If they are demanding regular payments from you then this is a very good sign to steer clear of them.
2. A web site called alexa.com checks traffic rankings of all sites on the Internet. When I am looking at a new site that I might wish to pay a service for, I always check its rankings.
If the site is in the top 100,000 most popular sites, then this is a good sign to me. This is because it shows me that the site is receiving regular traffic, and so people will be uploading and downloading files regularly.
If you find that the site is ranked at 750,000 for instance, I can tell you that they are only receiving a few visitors a day. Consequently, what are the chances that they own a popular download site that you can download a wide range of music and game from with such few visitors?
Not many people know about this trick, and I have found it extremely useful in the past to judge a sites value.
3. My final tip is to actually type the sites name into Google followed by the word review. Google will display a bunch of results, mostly from forums, giving peoples views and opinions on the site based on their experiences.
Clearly, if words like scam are being posted on these forums in relation to the site, then again this is a good reason to steer clear of them. On the other hand, the site might have received praise and this would encourage you to invest.
These are my main tips that I offer when looking to download music and game

Do Not Download Music For A Wedding Reception
December 6, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Catherine Harvey asked:
Most of our plans for the wedding are in place. There have been one or two hitches along the way ie: the best man breaking his leg on the stag do, one of my bridesmaids going down with mumps, the flowers for the cake not matching my bouquet as I had requested.
I was beginning to think that this was a bad idea, that we were somehow jinxed and it was a sign that we shouldn’t go ahead but it all seems to be coming together.
Last week, my mother and I went to the bridal wear shop for our final fitting and I have to say, we looked amazing. We were really getting in the spirit of things and the red wine was flowing when the mis-hap occurred.
My mother got the heel of her ridiculous shoes stuck in a stray veil trailing across the floor and tripped, sending her wine all down my beautiful dress.
An emergency developed and I was feeling frustrated that all I could do was cross my fingers in the hope that all would come good in the end. However, when I got home to find a message on the answer phone from the DJ we had booked to say he was packing it all in and emigrating to Thailand, I was more stressed than ever.
At least his message reassured me that he had passed the job on to a trusted friend who would be available on the date and he left me a contact number. I arranged for the new DJ to come round the next day so we could organise our music selection that we wanted for the reception.
We were quite dismayed to find that this DJ has no music collection as such! He says he will download music from the internet, transfer it to CD and that way we can have absolutely any track we desire. This concerns us somewhat. I sometimes download music for my own personal use on my iPod but I’m sure public use is illegal.
I put this to the DJ but he assures me he has a special licence and can download music at any time for public performance. Not knowing a great deal about the subject, I trust he knows his profession better than me and we submit our wish list of modern and romantic music.
So, the big day arrives. My dress arrives spotless, the cake is delivered complete with the correct flowers and with a quick check at the reception venue, I find the DJ setting up a pull down screen. I ask him about this and he tells me that not only can he download music but also music videos, and all this under his licence. Not entirely sure I want people watching music videos at my wedding reception, it is meant to be MY day after all, I decide I don’t have time to argue and will just see how things go tonight.
At the church and things are running smoothly apart from a slight glitch that sees everyone scrabbling around the aisle to catch the ring that the replacement best man has dropped. Just as the formalities are ending, I turn to see my sweetest, youngest page boy projectile vomiting over the train of my dress! I knew this was going to be a disaster.
After a quick clean up with the Vanish, we arrive at the reception and struggle to greet our guests with a smile after my new husband tells me to ’sort my face out’!
The wine is flowing, the food eaten and the DJ ready. Out blasts ‘Congratulations’ by Cliff Richard instead of my specified ‘Bleeding Love’ by Leona Lewis. I complain to the DJ about the feeling that my ears were bleeding and he blames it on an internet fault from when he tried to download music.
This appalling collection of music continues and the guests are revolting. The wine is disappearing in vast quantities and nobody is on the dance floor. Instead , they are watching the music videos that do not coincide with the horrendous music downloads and everything is falling apart. An argument breaks out between two drunk guests, as is typical at these do’s, and someone calls the police.
When the police arrive to break up the fight that has moved into the street, they come inside to make sure all things are calm and take great interest in what the DJ is doing. I can’t quite make out what is going on but a new scuffle breaks out and the DJ and all his equipment is packed up and escorted to a waiting police van.
It turns out that he didn’t actually have a licence to download music at all, let alone music videos, and he is taken away for prosecution. The whole event has disintegrated and I am left hoping this isn’t the way that married life will continue.

Download Music and Burn Cds for Free – How to Do it Successfully

Hilary Mujikwa asked:
Getting your hands on the latest music releases from your favorite artists is often an easy task to complete in this day and age. Everybody is always looking to download music and burn cds for free, so I thought to write a quick article to help people find legal music services that will ensure that they stay out of trouble legally.
The first thing you want to do is go to Google, Yahoo, or MSN, and type in “download music and burn cds for free”. Once you perform a search with those keywords, a list of music sites will appear.
The next thing you want to do is go through each of those sites to see how big their catalogs are and if they offer any additional goodies like anti spy ware for free. You’ll discover that some of the sites that let you download music and burn cds for free are also willing to provide you with additional customer service support. These are the kind of web sites you want to get hold of so that you can download music and burn cds for free instantly without having to worry about technical issues getting in the way.
An additional step you might want to take is to go to the “Terms of Use” and “Privacy” pages of each of these sites to learn a little more about them and the legal implications that may be involved when using their sites. This will give you a rough idea about where they stand when you want to download music and burn cds for free.

Downloading Music From the Internet – What not to Do
November 9, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Tony Connor asked:
You’ve just got a new Zune or other media player, and you’re dying to get that song that you used to have on a record. You search the internet and find it!
It’s free! All you have to do is give them your email address and it’s yours. So you start to download it and the next thing you know, you have pop ups every time you open your browser, your anti-virus is complaining about trojans and trackware and your personal information is being copied around the internet.
There were signs. A page full of banner ads (some of which you had to avert your eyes from), pop-ups, flashing icons – and you thought you could just download it and transfer it to your Zune.
This happens everyday – all they want is a free song – it won’t hurt to download one free song – and they immediately regret it.
This happens every day. The reason these illegal copies are free is that the people who steal them don;t have the highest moral character! They take advantage of people downloading music, and steal much more than music copyright.
Fortunately, people are realizing that illegal downloads from these sort of sites are something to stay away from from the beginning. They are starting to realize that they aren’t really saving much, and the damage to your computer, and possibly your life, could be significantly worse.
There are options, today, to download music that are proven to be cost effective – pay per download from Zune Marketplace or amazon.com or membership sites where you pay one fixed charge for unlimited, lifetime downloads. These are places where you can look for that tune, and download it knowing that you won’t be downloading viruses or spyware.
It is worth it, for your computer and your peace of mind, to always download songs from a legal source that you can trust.

How to Download Music With No Viruses

Hilary Mujikwa asked:
If you’ve ever asked yourself a question like “how do i download music without getting my computer infected with a virus?” You might want to consider leaving web sites like Kazaa and learn how to download music from sites that don’t allow viruses to creep into their networks.
There is nothing as bad as going to a music service that promises to give people virus free music downloads, only to find out that the music you’ll eventually get from them is highly infected by the worst viruses imaginable. Thats the reason why i decided to write a quick article about how to download music from web sites that are not out to destroy your computer.
The first thing you need to do is perform a search on either Google or Yahoo to look for free legal music download sites. A list of music downloading sites should appear, each of them offering directions in regards to how to download music on their web sites. But this is where it gets a little tricky.
As of 6/28/2008, the day I wrote this article, the Google search engine does not warn people about music web sites that contain dangerous downloads. The Yahoo search engine on the other hand, does. This is very important if you want to know how to download music without viruses because the last thing you want to do is click on one of the sites that will hurt your computer. Thats why I personally like using Yahoo when searching for music sites. I find their search engine to be much safer in this regard.

Knowing the right places to download free music is a major key to avoiding a law suite. Thanks to the tough lesson we learnt from Jammie Thomas, the now famous thirty something year old lady that was brutally attacked by a RIA (Recording Industry Association of America) law suite, it now makes sense to legally download music for free online. For the simple reason of avoiding a costly law suite.
Due to rise of illegal free music sites like Kazaa and Limewire, it’s pretty easy for many people to download music for free online. This is something that many people have done at one point in their lives, but have never seen it to be a big deal since everyone else used to do it all the time. That was until the music industry decided to sue people who illegally download music for free online.
I personally don’t think it was the right way for the Recording Industry Association of America to deal with people because sueing individuals that are interested in their product doesn’t make much sense. It would have made sense to continue letting people download music for free online, then create a new business model that can thrive in that environment, instead of suing potential potential clients who might have actually created a new revenue stream for the major lables.
Either way, the music industry decided to wage war on the people downloading music from certain music sites, so it now makes sense for us to know where to legally download music for free online.

Ray Harris asked:
Getting free mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs is extremely popular. It’s estimated that as many as sixty (60) million music lovers like you get music for your mp3 player or ipod this way. But have you ever considered the issues involved with downloading your favorite songs from file sharing programs? If you haven’t shared any music files yet, you really need to know the benefits and risks; and I wrote this article to provide you with an overview of what’s involved in getting mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs.
The Benefits of Downloading Music From MP3 File Sharing Programs
The biggest draw to getting music from mp3 file sharing programs is the ability to download music you would ordinarily have to buy for free. Along with getting the music you want for free, there is no limit to the number of files or the size of the files you can download. Also, today’s p2p file sharing technology makes it possible for users to quickly search for, download and share music files at lightning speeds.
As exciting as it is to be able to search for, find and get fast downloads of the music you want for free, there are downsides to getting mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs.
The Risks Involved In Downloading Music Files From MP3 File Sharing Programs
The greatest risks surrounding downloading music files from mp3 file sharing programs involves spyware and getting sued for copyright infringement. Many popular file sharing programs expose users of the p2p (peer to peer) network to spyware, adware and computer viruses. They are free open source programs or freeware, and as such, they may be bundled with spyware that slows down your computers’ performance or adware that tracks and reports your online activities. Additional computer security risks come from the files of other users in the p2p network. However, the most controversial aspect of getting mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs involves the sharing and/or distribution of copyrighted works that hasn’t been legally licensed by the mp3 file sharing program or service. If you download and share copyrighted music that hasn’t properly licensed for digital distribution, you expose yourself to possibly getting sued by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for copyright infringement.
While the computer spyware and lawsuit risks are serious, there are steps a determined mp3 file sharing program user can take to reduce or eliminate those risks.
Clearly the draw, as well as the excitement of getting free mp3 music from p2p file sharing programs is hard to resist. On the other hand, the risks to your hardware and personal finances are hard to ignore. However, if your desire for unlimited free mp3 music outweighs your concern about these risks, getting mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs might be the way for you to go.

What the Artists Say About Downloading Music for Free

Jon Mills asked:
How do you listen to music online? The debate on downloading music has been raging for years, and the few who are against it tend to cite the familiar notion that every downloaded track is a lost sale. But most people believe that this is a simplistic and short sighted view, and that file sharing is a lifeline for undiscovered bands looking for an audience.
Such viewpoints are understandable from the record companies, they don’t want people to listen to music online for free, or bands and artists developing a fan base and making it on their own. However, Peer-to-Peer technology is winning supporters from within the very industry that opposes it.
Black Eyed Peas
“Our general thoughts on illegal downloading are that for up-and-coming groups that don’t have deals and that are trying to get exposure and publicity, it’s a forum that is good for them. People that do have deals, however, and have records coming out, a lot of times don’t get the record sales that they want. But, it’s good for people that don’t have the means of distribution.
I’m the type of fan who wants to purchase the CD, a cover and the artwork for my collections, so illegal downloading isn’t something that occurs to me. I also like to support other artists.
I’ve definitely done it before, you know, it’s good for sampling, but if you like the music you should follow up and just buy the record. Plus, MP3s aren’t as good quality as CDs.”
Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)
“I just want my music to be out, and that’s always been the main priority. It was never really about getting paid. It was just getting people to hear my music.”
Moby
“Well, the whole reason I started making music is because I love music and I’m flattered if anyone makes an effort to listen to my music whether they buy a CD, whether they do a legal download, whether they download something illegally, whether they listen to it at a friend’s house. I just am flattered and honoured when someone makes the effort to listen to my music. So, of course I support legal downloading, but, to be honest with you I’m pleased if someone downloads my music illegally. Again I feel quite flattered.”
There’s more…
The CMCC (Canadian Music Creators Coalition) which includes artist such as Barenaked Ladies, Avril Lavigne, John K. Samson (Weakerthans), Sarah McLachlan, Sum 41, Broken Social Scene, amongst many others have taken a stance against the entertainment industry associations believing that the RIAA and the like do not represent the best interests of the artists.
So with the attitudes of so many major artists supporting change and a move away from the old models of the recording industries, it is no wander that the future of music is moving increasingly in favour of consumers who share and listen to music online, and the artists around the world who believe in it.
