Is downloading music from MyMusicInc.com illegal?

Downloading or uploading copyrighted material is ILLEGAL. Here is what they say on their own website. "Purchasing a membership in MyMusicInc.com does not give you license to download or upload copyright material." They put the burden on you to not download any copyrighted material. That means almost all current music out there will be illegal to download. So what is the purpose of the software if you are trying to not be a thief. The majority of the music you find will be illegal. There are plenty of legal downloads available. They are mostly unknown artist looking to make it. They allow the download of their music. www.mydownloads.com is one site to get free legal music. Some of it is great and some not so great. If you want to stay legal, either pay for downloads or download non copyrighted music.


Is vuze an illegal website?

It's only ILLEGAL if you are downloading material that is COPYRIGHTED (movies, music, etc.). It is perfectly LEGAL if you are downloading freeware material that are not copyrighted. To improve this answer.It is the same as downloading music from sites like kazah. The FBI walks in to your ISPs office to get list of people downloading copyrighted music or movies.They prosecute you. My niece had about 40 songs downloaded,they wanted to charge her 1500.00 per song.My mom hired a lawyer,he got the total fine dropped to 5000.00,still kinda expensive. That's 5000.00 plus legal fees. Remember this while your downloading movies and music.
