Downloading music now completely legal?

[Runnie_D]

I heard that you can now download some software or something and all the music is legit and fully legal anyone know anything about this? I also heard that music companys gave in and illegal downloading is now legal.

its legal now in Canada i think, instead of paying for music its now part of out taxes. i could be wrong

 

[JoshHotz]

That's definately not true. Think of how many people who object to that, who already buy their own music legitimately, they would get fucked over.

there was talk of adding $5/mo on internet fees in Canada to compensate for illegally downloaded music

yea Ruckus is offered to most college students and they have 20+million songs and it comes with a drm, but you c an find many programs like tunebite to take the drm off. I have over 300 FREE cd's from Ruckus, if your college does not offer it talk to the dean cause it costs college NOTHING.
