People like the music assosiation of america are activly campaigning saying that it's even illegal to make your own backup copies of your legaly purchased cd's!
If I want to download music *legally* then it's going to be littered with protection, which can do all sorts of things, one main thing is only allowing you to play the music on so many devices, so if you want to put it on your phone/mp3 player you may find yourself not being able to make copies of your own music!
Not to mention I think this sort of protection is coming to CD based music, if it isn't already.
The large corporations should stop trying to buy laws for themselves and instead give us cheap music.
I'd buy music from
http://allofmp3.com rather than download it free, because it's easier to find and better quality... the legality of it I don't know. It's like $1.5 an album.. it's legal in russia, and I think therefore it's legal here.....
because if you bought say a cd over the internet from france then it would be fine to bring it over to this country...
