Keep Your Free Music Downloads - I Don't Like Prison!
Well, free downloads brought down Napster and they're illegal - why even risk it?
Actually, that's not true. Napster fell from grace and had to start charging for downloads because people were swapping entire CDs on the site. Now in all honesty, the system was abused, which is what caused the lawsuits in the first place. Plus, and I know this is getting technical, Napster allowed "swapping" of MP3 files, not downloading.
So file swapping, which costs nothing, and free MP3 music downloads are different...do explain!
With file swapping, two people were exchanging songs that had to first be purchased (at some point) at a store. When the song or CD was purchased, the record company got their cut, the musicians made their money, and a whole lot of record store clerks and warehouse people had jobs, as well. Swapping cut everyone out of that loop so that all lost money - lots of it - except Napster, which made a killing off of advertising. But free MP3 music downloads are offered by artists, and sanctioned by music companies, as a way of attracting new fans. One is stealing, while the other is marketing.
There has to be a catch...nothing is free!
Well, as I said, free MP3 music downloads are about promoting an artist, and getting them some exposure that would not be possible otherwise. But there are some things to watch out for when thinking about any free MP3 music downloads. First, it is common for older songs to be listed as free MP3 music downloads, but the kicker is that you only get a sample of the song instead of what you are really after - you know, like the whole song or something silly like that!
Another thing to watch out for are information mining sites. Before you ask, let me just tell you - these are sites that offer up free MP3 music downloads, but ask that you fill out a "quick survey" first. Buried twenty pages deep into the book that is the site's Privacy Policy, these sites clearly state in the smallest print allowed by law that they can turn around and sell this information. Now, you may think it a good trade for free MP3 music downloads, and willingly give out the information for some decent tunes at no charge. However, if you are a little nervous about who has your information and for what purposes, you may just want to spend a buck or two for the song and be done with it. No matter how you look at it, though, free MP3 music downloads are out there, and you really can add some great tunes to your collection - without worrying about being served a warrant!
