My son wants to download mp3s for free...?!


Question: ...and he's found the website: http://mp3.my10sen.com

Does anyone out there know if this is a legal download site? They have zero information on their homepage.
Thanks!

That website is registered to Mohd Faisal in Malaysia. Malaysia has long been known for piracy and copyright violations, but has been attempting to clean up its act in recent years (but not too successfully).

I can just about guarantee you that downloading music from that website violates United States copyright laws. There ARE some websites that legitimately offer free MP3 downloads, because the music is for independent artists who would like to get their music out there. As you noted (by its absence), a legitimate site would display a statement explaining what the content was and its legality.

Occasionally, some big-name artists offer free downloads for promotional purposes, but this isn't very common, and NEVER for a full album,

Try Googl'ing "free legal mp3*". Leave off the quotes, but do use the asterisk after the #3. Below is a link to a legitimate free site.

There are also many sites that offer downloads for a moderate price, such as iTune, Amazon, Walmart, etc.

But, I'd get him away from that site you listed....I believe that it would be VERY easy for the RIAA to monitor.

The second link lists RIAA-approved music download sites.

free mp3s = illegal.......... unless its a site that normally has songs for a price, and is giving away like a 5 dollar gift certificate to their site, etc.

Its illegal if it has the word free involved. Don't set that example for your son. Everyone needs to make a living and support their selves even the music industry
