    iTunes = legal; Limewire/Bittorrent etc. = not. You should really support the artists if you like their music. Just because you can download music for free, doesn't make it moral or legal. Or are you telling me that the only reason that you pay for your food and clothing is because you would be caught stealing them? \

    You = Liar. :P



    Grab yourself Tomato Torrent and then browse some Legal Torrents.



    If this thread is still active this evening, I'll post back with some more legal music download sites.

    I stand corrected. Maybe I'm just surrounded by thieves, then.

    Well everything is invented for a good reason, we are the ones who make it bad. Since I were little I've believed in supporting the artists. So if I really like a certain group or singer I buy the Greatest Hits or single, but because of where I stay (Costa Rica) and the lack of variety, some music I download from LimeWire or CD++; last one strongly recommended...



    Have fun without abusing resources; support the Artists!!!

    You're suppoting the artists by buying something that the record labels have cooked up themselves? Heh.

    There's 69 tracks and 30 free concerts made by the nice people at Stanford University available on iTunes.

    If you're into warbirds rather than the copious collections at www.archive.org, you can watch the original flight training films (in RealVideo) for dozens of classic WWII aircraft at http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/



    Right-clicking on the '56k+faster' links will allow you to download them for later viewing.
