Wrong! It actually just links to the files located somewhere else.

Yes, but then the question is why do those repositories exist from where anyone can download illegal music? And why those aren't cracked down?

Charley and I were on the internet Then this pop-up said would I like to download some mp3's. And I clicked yes. And I was going to download when Charley stopped me. Charley reminded me my mum says I shouldn't go off on web-sites I don't know. Then the site went away. We went and told mummy and she said we had been very good. I got an apple and Charley got something he likes. He says never go anywhere with men or ladies you don't know.

But we know Mike. Mike swims like a fish. There's only a very narrow CP demographic who will know what this means.

Did you try to download one?
Yes, I did and it works without me having to go away from this site. I know there are other sites like this as well. I was just wondering whether these sites not hosted in US has got something to do with them being still in existence? or is it some other thing I am missing?

That will certainly make a difference, yes. Hosting copyrighted materials is not necessarily against the law everywhere (e.g. China or other Far Eastern countries seem to have a different attitude to piracy, or Sweden – c.f. Pirate Bay), and it is also not enforced everywhere (e.g. Russia). US law doesn't have any weight in such places.

My Mummy used to say to me when I was a child "If a strange man comes up to you in the street, and offers you sweeties to get in his car...GO!" I never used to listen to what my Mummy said to me when I was young.

I remember, as a child, being warned not to open the cellar door. One day I did and saw many wondrous things. Trees. Sunlight. People.

Sorry, I can only award a single 5! Also: When I was 14 my parents moved house. I often wonder where they went...

Actually it's illegal to host copyrighted MP3's, movies, etc in Sweden. Piratebay comes around it by not hosting the files themselves, all the users has them and you download it from another user. Piratebay just tells you where to find a file to download... So the the downloader and the user that shares it are doing something illegal. So even though it's not popular with record labels or the movie industry, Pireatebay is legal in Sweden.

Ah yes, you are correct. But the point still holds that some things that would be shut down in the US (file sharing service providers) are legal even in some western countries. Outright hosting of copyrighted material is either legal or not enforced in at least China and Russia (and I'm sure many other countries).

Far easier to find a video on YT with good audio and strip it into an MP3 from the stream. Just for kicks I tried the site. Looks like the typical phishing pond with the "you must download this to get that" thing going on; still I plugged in a test song name (Rainbow's 'Since you've been gone')... found one, clicked on the download and got redirected to some other site hosting a file. The clincher was that it wasn't even the whole song, just a fragment :laugh: - joke's on me! We've come a long way since the Audio Galaxy and Napster (pre corporate Napster that is) days :suss: -- RP
