Free Music Online

[Taxious]

I couldn't find a song I wanted online for a long time. It wasn't on Ares, LimeWire, youtube, myspace, or even Amazon. Finally I stumbled upon a site that had it, and for free.

http://www.sideload.com/

I can't tell if I've jumped the gun in excitement about this site or not yet, but so far I've been able to find any song I've wanted and am able to download it - without paying, signing up for anything, or installing anything. Just right click the download link on any song and "save target as." Awesome.

I was going to sign up for that site, but I hear it makes you sweaty and gay.

There really aren't any viruses or anything? My spidey senses are tingling.

Its probably herpes.

In my brain?!

Well, fuck.

Ha, it's Napster just with HTTP and a better takedown policy.

I miss the Napster days. What does everyone use these days? I like Ares a lot and use LimeWire from time to time when I can't find something via Ares.

Call it what you want, but there are only a couple artists that I deem worthy enough to actually buy their music these days.

Limewire here. I never heard of Ares. I'll take a look into it.

Ares has spyware.

[Fallakin Kuvari]

I don't understand why more people don't Bittorrent.

[Select]

^ Scared of viruses.

[Fallakin Kuvari]

LOL,

step 1) get a good AV program

step 2) find a reliable BT site

step 3) bask in the glory that is the combination.

[Select]

Yeah, but I don't know which sites are reliable.

A Maya crack from a friend from a supposed good site had a virus. It hid until you tried to render something. I was glad to have a decent AV program because it caught the damn thing right away.

[Fallakin Kuvari]

Check your PM, they actively go through and remove the ones that are virii.

[Select]

Thanks! I'll check it out when I'm back at school in a week+ They block teh Limewire usage, so this is much appreciated.

I've never gotten a virus on a torrent site, but then again, I'm only using sites that require membership.

[Ddrak]

I dunno - I'd be nervous getting music from a signup site. It's like saying "hey - here I am" to an RIAA subpoena.

What site are you using?

Ares has spyware.

I've had a lot more problems with LimeWire than I ever have with Ares. I've never had or heard of any spyware coming along with Ares being installed. Neither have a ton of friends that use it...

Select, you shouldn't be too scared of "getting a virus." The worst that can happen is that your virus scan fails and you have to reinstall windows and transfer all of your files back over. Not that big of a deal...

Actually, the (most plausible) worst that can happen is you get a rootkit installed on your machine that subverts your virus scanner so you never actually know you've been hacked. Then random criminal elements use your machine as a jumping off point for hacking attempts against high profile targets such as the DoD, NSA, White House or Church of Scientology. Then men in black come in with a warrant, ask you all sorts of really tough questions and take your computer away as material evidence of the crime without your ever seeing it again or even having a chance to get anything from it.

Yes - I'm serious. That can and does happen.
