yt74 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Does anybody have a good music sharing site to reccomend? I used to use Bearshare, but they are putting more and more adware in the program and I am sick of it. I guess I like my illegally downloaded songs more easily obtained...

cwai02 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Don't you think the time you wasted on finding illegal mp3 costs more than the money you spent for legal mp3? I usually have to use MP3 tag editor to edit those illegal mp3s. It's not worth my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGambleur Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 (edited) It´s not about getting the music for free, it´s about exploring new artists and albums. I download a lot to find new good music and if i like it i buy the record. But that´s just me. Edited September 3, 2006 by LeGambleur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slay Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 use www.allofmp3.com those songs might cost you 2-3 CENTS (!!) per song, but you can PICK codec, bitrate and so on. They got aslmost anything and you can download with hi-speed. And its legal in most countries. I have bought over 5000 songs, if not more, from them.

Yeah i wasn't thinking or i would have recomended this myself. - I have gotten Hundredds of songs from them. They weren't doing things by the book, but as of sept 1st they are now - they came to an agreement with the music associations. The prices almost doubled - but its still under 5 bucks a cd for SUPER HIGH QUALITY mp3 Also I recomend www.gomusic.ru (formerly mp3search.ru) they have a different pricing model, somethimes its cheaper than allofmp3 sometimes not. they also have sometimes different stuff. For instance i got the new Dream Theater album from them on monday, even though it wasn't released till tuesday and 1 week later, all of mp3 still doesn't have it. Also, gomusic has audio books, but mostly in russian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotoman Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 What changed on Sep 1st with allofmp3.com? Any links? The prices on allofmp3 went up on sept 1. But its still way cheaper and way easier than any other system out there. and most importantly NO DRM- - - DRM BLOWS apparently sept 1st was the implimenting date for this law http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/93065/russia-g...copyrights.html Russia gets tough over online copyrights 3:22PM Owners of Russian sites selling digital music face the prospect of up to five years in gaol after the country's president, Vladimir Putin, approved new copyright laws. The new laws give work published on the Internet the same copyright protection as physical books, videos and CDs. Sites such as AllofMp3.com have previously been able to sell digital music without any licensing agreement from the copyright holders. The new rules were agreed in 2004, but websites were given two years to sign the necessary licences in order to avoid prosecution. But according to Russian news service Kommersant, this has not happened. The site says that 97 per cent of music on the Russian Internet is traded or shared without authorisation and sites such as AllofMP3 continue to sell outside Russia despite the absence of an approved licence. The country's legal music market is worth less than $1 million, while AllofMP3's turnover is estimated to be in the region of $25 to $30 million or more. 'Russian laws might be good, but they are not implemented very well,' Vadim Uskov, head of law company Uskov and Partners told Kommersant. 'If usual sellers of counterfeit goods are not caught on the street, then no one will catch the owners of websites ADVERTISEMENT in the Internet where it is hard to identify them.' Uskov said Russia needs more 'decisive measures', such as those adopted in China that put the criminal responsibility for publishing pirate products on Internet providers. Sites can also escape censure by exploiting a loophole in the law that allows them to sign licenses with Russian royalty collection and rights agencies, even though those agencies have no agreement with the record companies and artists whose music they are licensing. AllofMP3 exploits this loophole through its agreements with the Russian Multimedia and Internet Society (ROMS) and the Rightholders Federation for Collective Copyright Management of Works Used Interactively (FAIR). It is also possible that the new laws may be scrapped almost as soon as they have come into force. The country's parliament, the Duma, will soon debate a completely new copyright law that will set out new rights and protections across all media. However the music industry seems happy with the current state of affairs. Vladimir Dragunov, legal advisor of the Russian office of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) said that for the first time the industry can set out its case and begin to build a legal market for digital music. 'The problem is not to destroy each pirate site,' he said. 'It is necessary to change the ratio between piratic and legal Internet from 99 to 10 per cent, for instance.' There is a much greater issue at stake for Putin. He is keen to gain Russian membership of the World Trade Organisation, but there is strong opposition among politicians and music and movie industry lobbyists in the US who insist that it must clamp down on Internet 'piracy' before its membership application is accepted.

SubFrog Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I'm not one to use any of these sites as I tried Limewire once and BANG - I lost everything due to a killer Trojan. However, I know many people that have been on Soul Seek for years and they claim they have never had a problem.

If there are multiple files in a torrent, it allows you to pick and choose which ones you want to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
