free mp3 downloads

If you've never heard of Napster, then you've probably been on a different planet for the last five years. File sharing networks, such as the revolutionary server that was/is Napster, provide anyone who has access to the Internet with a venue through which they can search for and download practically any song that has ever existed. There continues to be a great deal of controversy surrounding the legality of such file sharing networks. Certain musicians/groups such as Metallica have sought legal action to put a stop to the copyright infringement that exists behind the downloading of free MP3's. Proponents of file sharing networks believe that these services are no different than someone recording songs off the radio, and are simply a part of changing times. They also argue that the cost to musicians is not too extreme, noting that most downloaders are simply looking to test out certain types of music, before purchasing. Napster was forced out of business following nationwide coverage. Not surprisingly, this did little to thwart the free MP3 industry, as several new networks such as Kazaa (recently in the news) and Scour simply took the place of Napster. The free MP3 controversy will undoubtedly continue.
