Before anyone says, I know you could just use Limewire etc, but all these files are the same, good quality mp3 (128kb afaik) and you get no spyware! And it's legal(ish)! Hurrah!

A word of caution, mp3search.ru has been under investigation for copyright infringement and if I remember correctly is totally banned in the US. I'm not sure whether there is a similar case in the UK.

One step ahead of you Scott - No charge in the UK (as yet).

Just trying to say that the legal ramifications if caught would probably be harsh. Any loophole found to cause a company major money loss would probably come under the Computer Misuse Act (yeah, fair play, it is stupid to not see such a loophole go unnoticed).
Think I'll stick to iTunes (See, I'm all legit and stuff

)
I've seen it happen before when some little script kiddy DDoS'd servers causing tens of thousands of pounds damage. He was liable for the damage and told to pay up. Different scenario but still applies...slightly!

Yeh, i'd rather not sign up to get illegal stuff, i can do that without telling anyone any details

But i don't do that, nor do i condone it.
Posted 23 May 2006 - 01:01 AM
yeh i didnt feel safe registering for anything like that especially something that is a .ru domain it just all seems very fishy to me

Technically according to russian copyright law, everyone one has the right to sell anyones music, so long as they note the number of records sold and send some sort of contribution to the russian copyright agency.
As far as I'm aware the bands themselves have to contact the russian copyright agency to claim back their royalties.
Whether it's considered legal to buy music from russia while in the UK brings up one of these legal conundrums....
......60p an album aint bad tho

If any one want free legal downloads theres plenty about. Loads of new bands give out free tracks or bigger bands give live versions etc. You can just go through tons of sites (which is fun if you have the time) but there are sites which give lists.
http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/view.php?lo...ads&c=20&page=1This is a good site, there used to by hundreds but theyve taken all the old ones down now. Theres still quite a lot and it's easier to see the new ones now.
http://www.download.com/Click music. Theres good stuff there. Theres also really crap stuff so listen before you download.

If I'm on the net and wanting to listen to music, I just usually browse myspace.

The mp3search.ru loophole now seems to be closed.
