The best p2p file sharing program I’ve found is Grokster.
It works on the same engine as kazaa.
I also download MP3s that I already own on other media because there is no way in hell that I’m going to buy them again. One album, I purchased on cassette, but it broke within a week of purchase. I saved up and got it again, this time on CD - and it was stolen when my house was broken into. I am sure as hell not going to buy it a third time, and consider myself within my rights to download the MP3s to listen to. After all, didn’t I buy myself the right to listen to those songs when and where I want to? The cassette and the CD were just the packaging that the music came on.
I can’t rip most of my music into MP3s myself because they’re on cassette or LP (and I no longer have a record player).
As far as I’m concerned, what I do is (or should be) perfectly legal, and - at least - is not immoral. I don’t see any reason to buy the same album twice because technology has changed.
Could you detail that a bit more for the blonde please?
I have some old LPs that I’d just love to have on CD, but can’t find anywhere, even online. I have a CD burner but lack the know-how to get my music onto it from a tape or LP.
Nope … we ain’t gonna do this. While the original question was okay, it’s branched out into the “how-to” field, which is not.
