Piracy, RIAA, Lawsuits

[Mike80]

The recording industry establishment is a dying business model screaming bloody murder to hang on to the horse that long ago left the barn.
It's Darwinism in business, adapt or die.

or get a bailout.....

Rapidshare is the most popular. There are a lot of them,but this is just particularly what I use.

Ahhh yes...I've used SendSpace multiple times for documents and things.

Anybody still download music?

I use to use Limewire but it looks like it's been shut down. Just curious if anyone knew of another file sharing music place out there that's free.

Torrent. I've downloaded many songs that way.

 

[WolverineMike]

is that a website?

BitTorrent

You download a client (Vuze, uTorrent etc) and then you will have to use a tracker site (PirateBay, Demonoid, ShareReactor etc ) to find the actual links.

As far as the old school p2p stuff Frostwire & Shareaza are both still around (remember to avoid the Shareaza.com website as it's a scam site meant to install crapware on your machine).

Most of the hard core guys have always used Usenet/Newsgroups.

Or you can just check out stuff from your local library & rip it yourself (which means you don't have to worry about the bad quality rips let alone issues with viruses & other nasties).

I'm a usenet guy myself but there's also a million and one music sharing forums out there. Your best bet though is to buy your music.

The future belongs to analog, fuck digital.

this thread should be retitled- "dear feds, ping my ip and arrest me!"

I buy most of my music from Amazon. Their downloads are at a reasonably high bit rate so they sound great! Highly recomended! :tongue2:
