If you fancy a laugh from your legally-downloaded MP3s, check out "London Underground" - an excellent song that will be appreciated by anybody who's had to rely on public transport.

Warning: Contains swearing!

P.S. Downloading music illegally isn't theft under any legal definition - it's copyright infringment. A technicality, but an important one. . .

had downloaded all , not bad ...
are they by the same artists , i mean i saw "Amateur Transplants" and "Adam Kay & Suman Biswas"

Yep, same people!

I personally use Rhapsody 25. I get 25 free streams a month that are free and legal. They also have over a million songs to choose from including indie music. The quality is also way better than any ps2 program I have tried and I never have any errors. Their ad free radio is also good to jam to while working on the computer.

If you are looking for a good p2p service I would have a look at Apollon. This application is a front end for the giftd daemon and it allows you to connect to the Kazaa (FastTrack) network, Gnutella, Ares and OpenFT networks, great for all types of files and if you have just migrated from Windows you will feel right at home. I am not going to go into the moral ethics behind p2p as clearly some people here like to do so just make sure when you download you are following the copyright laws in your country.

thanks a lot.

Your answer for music seems to be good.

But for movies - excliding p2p - does somebody know if there is any possibility?

Regards.

LOL, you come in talking about p2p, i.e. warez, illegal downloading (which is not allowed in this forum) and when people tell you it's illegal you threaten to "announce a moderator". That's awesome

Maybe we should threaten to "announce your isp"

All right anyway, torrents are great for p2p. Check out sf.net for azureus.

Alinsoar si io sunt din romania si sa stii ca faza cu dc++u e ilegala, adica dc++ nu e ilegal dar e ilegal sa copiezi muzik, filme etc de la altzii intelegi??si logic ca nu ai semnat nik daca ti-ai luat dial-up prin sarma sau altceva, insa la rds chiar semnezi ceva...bine ca nu se tin aia de verificari astai treaba lor...

nolimitz - please post in English to the LQ boards. English is the primary language here and on the internet.

All, whatever your personal beliefs on downloading music that is not Creative Commons or otherwise designated "free" (in any sense of the word) by the owners, it is illegal in the US - which is where our servers are located. The 'sue-happy' RIAA are probably scribbling out the warrant in crayon right now. So I am preemptively closing this thread.

Final note: the 'London Underground' song is from the album "Licence to Practice" and was sold to help a breast cancer charity. By not buying it, you are depriving a worthy cause of money. For those of you who have downloaded it, shame on you. Donate money now. I bought it and so hold the moral high ground.
