   This cannot be legal
  Quoted from the 'Free Stuff on the internets' thread, so that I don't take that excellent thread off-topic, by Saurabh Torne* Wen it comes to freestuff MP3 come first:* www.seekasong.com is a cool site withot popupsI've just been there, and I cannot believe this is legal.  But then, how could this website not be taken down by the RIAA?  But on the other hand, they don't have a comprehensive every-mp3-ever-ripped library, so maybe it is legal?  I don't want getting sued if I download from there.  Anyone know?   
  I doubt you will get sued/arrested if you download a track from that site. Thousands of people download songs from that site each day, so it will be difficult to track you unless you provided them with your personal information.But, despite this fact, I am still against piracy.   ;  ^^^Not entirely true. My site tracks where every IP goes on my site. The IP is easy to track through to my service provider and back to my location.If you use a Proxy though... then you can get away with it easily.   ;Quote:From Their WebsiteAre MP3s legal?MP3s are both legal or illegal, it is legal when the song's copyright holder has grant permission to download and play the song. It´s still legal if you encode the mp3 for personal use, however it is illegal to distribute or trade MP3s without permission from the song's copyright holder.

What a lame disclaimer, and thus lame service, if you ask me.   ;  That settles it then.  Thanks Agony.   ;  I use it sometimes. Every song i've found from that site has been available from either the band's website itself, or some subsidiary like purevolume or myspace. Since I don't use it often I can't say for sure if all songs from there are legal, but so far I haven't seen anything to fuss about.   ;Quote:Original post by vrok137I doubt you will get sued/arrested if you download a track from that site.

While your chances of getting in trouble may be low, it would suck if you were the one that got caught.Anyway, despite their disclaimer, what they are doing is probably illegal, and they will be shut down eventually.   ;  There are thousands, and they can't arrest 'em all, but i'd hate to be the targeted by ip. Many times there're able to pin point locations, but most of the time they suck at ip point. Correct if i'm in the wrong.   ;  There are thousands, and they can't arrest 'em all, but i'd hate to be the targeted by ip.
