downloading music

[slleipnir]

You don't have to pay to use kazaa...I guess I'm just as confused ;D But..I don't really need to understand either so I guess it's all good

According to Kay Ann's link, you can copy music that you have bought, and use it for your own personal use, ie copy CDs you own to make a compilation CD. Downloading music - without having paid for it - is not legal.

The sites where you pay for songs allows for personal use because you have paid for a legitimate copy of the song.

Kazaa is illegal.
itunes is legal.

That's exactly what I used to do too!!

But when people started getting sued, we got all paranoid and took Kazaa off of our computers.

I use napster now, and pay for any song I download, itunes works the same way.

I know the chances of getting in trouble are slim, but it's not worth it to me.
