Free Music Downloads
Free music downloads?
Is there really such
a thing?
I remember back in the 90's, this really existed. There
was such a thing as completely free music. You
could go online and get as much music as
you wanted, any time, for absolutely nothing. Nowadays, I think there's
something new... Computer adware and and
viruses! And, well, basically...just a bunch of low quality files.
It's sad but true. Back in the "roaring Napster" era,
there were
millions of people online, at any given hour of the day,
waiting to
exchange files with you. Now, you'll be lucky if there are
several thousand.
So what happened? Basically, the major
music labels decided they were sick and tired of losing billions
of dollars to people who chose
to rip off their artist's music. Musical piracy is just
not cool, and people started to catch on to this
new idea.
Lawsuits started, aimed at getting high profile news attention to hopefully
discourage young
people to stop using peer to peer services. And the efforts
paid off.
Today, itunes and other legal places to download free music
thrive and make a profit at selling high quality, relatively
inexpensive downloads.
What about the rest? Have all the free music download sites
really disappeared?
Check around the internet, and you will soon see the answer
before you.
