MP3 Source - (Mp3Source.US) - is one of several sites that advertise unlimited downloads and then take money for recommending and supporting free P2P file sharing software.
The advertising on Mp3Source.US is misleading. Visitors may think they are signing up for a service that offers over unlimited legal music and movie downloads. They even have a search feature available on their home page to "make sure we have the mp3 file you need". Instead you are paying for MP3 Source to recommend and support free P2P file sharing software. Read the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) stance on file sharing networks.
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.
- Is MP3 Source doing anything illegal?
- They make sure to cover the bases in different areas of the site. The Help and FAQ's section states that you are paying for their support of the free P2P software. The bottom of their home page will advise you to follow all copyright laws. Hmm I wonder how many of the unlimited files that leaves you to download...
