Not all paid websites are legit

Ha! We knew it. While the record industry has been harping on at people to pay for their music, it’s been revealed that a whole bunch of these paid websites don’t even have the rights to sell the music they are offering customers.

While free music downloads may land you in hot water, no-one would have thought that paying for music could do the same. There are, apparently, dozens of websites offering music downloads when they don’t have the rights to do so.

Many of these websites tout their services as having billions of songs available for legal music downloads. Just because you pay for a music service doesn’t mean it’s legal, which leaves consumers in a kind of odd position. Who are we supposed to trust now? Is this a message to give all our money to big brands, such as Apple?

This is the kind of news that destroys faith in buying music downloads through legal means. Long live filesharing and free music downloads.
