How if I download a copyrighted music? I'm using WinMX, and I doubt if it tells me whether the music is copyrighted or not.

So, is that okay if I dl around 30 songs?

Bach_m is right. You can't get done for downloading, but you can for uploading. Just because of the nature of it. There's no real line between what's punishable and what isn't, I'd say downloading 100 songs all at once was punishable, but downloading one a day probably isn't.

Edit: oh, I didn't answer. People I know normally send me songs, and that's probably equally illegal, but you can't get done for it. Who honestly has never downloaded a song in their life? Then think about how full the prisons would be... it's not gonna happen.

Edit 2: voting, because the percentages are horrible, out of 9 votes.

crap i voted on wrong one

Its just like recording off the TV or the radio. That's Illegal but who cares. They sell the videos and they've bin working to get the new DVD player that can record. But the police cudn't care less. there's more important stuff 2 deal wiv. U cnt dl the quality ov a CD. so but em.
And 1 for Tochjo. 1€ = (about) £0.70

GiantSpider, that's what worries the industry so much, you CAN download the quality of a CD, and better. And Tochjo was asking about dollars, I think.

but there alot of infected files out on the fasttrack network now. possibly more than the god files.

Did a little calculation here...

£15.99 = $29.19

I still downloading music and I will continue with it.

btw, for people who uses p2p networks: download PeerGuardian! (search google, first hit) It's a great program that stops "unwanted" IPs.

I don't download much music, about a song per month, if there's one I really like. I don't download entire cds, and I don't really buy entire cds either. I've got just a couple, which I bought, but that's about it.

And by the way, I don't know the current exchange rates, but I'd say £15.99 is about $25.00.

i just buy cds, but i l;ike getting them for free off of my freinds

Lately most of the popular songs i download are broken anyway. with so many bad files under popular songs name it makes me think WTF is the point, just go buy it.
