I want free music

Filed Under Frugal, Technology | Leave a Comment

I found a program where I thought I could get free music downloads (legally) and I was so excited to try it out. The program is called MP3 Rocket and there is a free download version.

I signed up for the free download version and made sure that I wasn’t getting any viruses or spyware. Once I was using the software I discovered that it’s pretty much the same software as Limewire so you can find almost anything you want- software, music, movies, etc. Here’s the catch- the software is legal to use, but the downloads themselves are illegal because you don’t have the rights to the files unless you own the physical copy of the material. Jonathon had to come in and help me and explain it all to me. The other problem is that you are downloading files from other people’s computers, so there is a huge potential to get viruses. Basically, if the person who hosts the file has a virus, you are downloading their virus too. Not a chance I want to take.

I was so clueless as to what I was doing because the program promotes “free legal software” blah blah blah, but what you are doing with the software is not legal. Big disappointment to me. I am so cheap and just wanted free music. So if anyone knows a program like Napster where you can pay a small fee a month I would be willing to try it. I just want something where they don’t steal the music back after you quit the program
