That's 79 cents a track. [b]BRING IT ON [/b] It's live now: Wally World Music At 88 cents a song, that's still not bad. You may download music to one computer and can back up to up to two additional computers; ten burns to a CD and unlimited transfers to portable players. It is for Windows PC's only, however.

never understood why walmart wont sell music with explicit lyrics yet they sell R rated movies with nudity and foul language. Kind of a double standard there.

I stay away from all those file swapping sites...it's just bad news. If you like indie/alternative music, the best place to pick up FREE and LEGAL MP3s is http://www.epitonic.com . I could spend days on this Website. I did hear that iTunes is great, although I have not had a chance to check it out yet. If you like Phish, try http://www.livephish.com for some great downloads. -dp

I use Soulseek. I don't listen to music on shite multinational record labels, so I don't fear their wrath. The music I steal is mostly rips of tapes from raves in the early 90's. Neither the records nor the tapes are for sale new, so I dont think I am depriving anyone of their income.

Yes - it is illegal thanks to the DMCA - the best law money can buy.
Do I give a rats ass? No.
Will I download free music? Yes. (of course in my case, that's about 1 song every 6 months)

No. Well at lease you are honest. Will I download free music? Yes. (of course in my case, that's about 1 song every 6 months) Again, theft is theft. It's not free music (well, most of it anyway). Rationalize it however you want, it's still theft.

I was illeagle before the DMCA. Stealing is stealing Well rather than get into a pissing fight over this, lets come at it from another view. I think any law that criminalizes a large segment of it's population is going to have a tough time being inforced, especially given the ease of sharing via the net. Everyone has to determine how they will live their lives. The legality of music sharing is not something I spend much time worrying about. An excellent 'non-denominational' web site for intellectual property rights info is IP news Toy Man

Here's a great review of all the online music stores/services. It really tells you which one is best based on your needs. This is assuming you're bright enough to respect the laws governing copyrighted material.
