WE SUPPORT LEGAL DOWNLOADING
You bet!
Currently millions of users are downloading and trading files legally through file-sharing networks. You can, for instance, legally download music from over 850 bands and over 20,000 live concerts but also have access to multiple software titles, games and many other legal files.
File sharing has enabled music fans from around the world to build the largest library of recorded music in history. File sharing is not illegal as long as you obey and comply with all relevant copyright laws. Sharing copyrighted material without the permission to do so is illegal.
You will find detailed instructions on how to stay legal inside the members area. The purchase of a membership, however, is not a license to upload or download copyrighted material. We urge you to respect copyright and share responsibly.
It is legal to download music when the song’s copyright holder has granted permission to download and play the song. It is legal to encode MP3s for personal use, it is of course not legal to distribute or trade MP3s without permission from the song’s copyright holder. As some of these programs relate to Peer to Peer networks you will find both Copyrighted and non–copyrighted songs and other files.
It is imperative that you share responsibly. Copyright law protects original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual compositions. Persons who reproduce, distribute, or publicly perform or display works without a copyright owner’s consent, may be in violation of the law. You are responsible for your conduct and for ensuring that it complies with all applicable copyrights or other intellectual property rights and data–protection and privacy rights.
