So I got an Ipod for Christmas & am totally new to all this music download stuff but have in the past been very into free hooky software downloads. Visiting the Ipod download site shows a particular album I’m interested in for £7.99, fine so far. If I Google search the same album I get invites to download it from any number of “torrent” sites (what’s a torrent site anyway?) but have to become a member first. One particular site costs £24 for lifetime membership with unlimited downloads but to my very suspicious mind this doesn’t seem to make any sense at all; why isn’t everyone doing it? or perhaps they are! Is this just another rip off & they don’t really have anything to offer except ancient compilations or albums well past their sell by date; I’ve always believed there is no such thing as a free lunch, is this just another example? Are these sites actually legal?
