iMusicNow - (iMusicNow.com) - This site is GetAnySong but the URL is different. iMusicNow is a little better then many of these type of sites. They do mention that they give you acccess to the most widely used music downloading software on the home page - but they don't tell you this software is available for free elsewhere. They charge $26.88 for lifetime accees. I have better things to do with $26.88 then paying for a for free software!
The advertising on iMusicNow.com is misleading. Visitors may think they are signing up for a service that offers unlimited downloads of legal music and movie downloads. Instead they are paying for iMusicNow for access to and support of free P2P file sharing software.
This brings up several questions:
- Is file sharing legal?
- File sharing in and of itself is legal as long as the files are not copyright protected. What they don't tell you is that a huge majority of P2P network files are copyrighted content and therefore illegal to download.
- The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has taken legal action against more than 30,000 people for downloading and/or sharing copyrighted music.
- Does P2P file sharing software normally cost money?
- No it does not. While iMusicNow.com does make mention that they provide access to the most widely used music downloading software you have to dig deeper you'll find that the cost is for their recommendation and support of the free file sharing software.
- Is iMusicNow doing anything illegal?
- They make sure to cover the bases in different areas of the site. The F.A.Q. section states that you are paying for their support of the free P2P software.
- Is iMusicNow misleading visitors?
- We definitely find their site misleading. Visit McAfee Site Advisor for more opinions of the iMusicAccess (which is a duplicate of iMusicNow.)
