Hi folks

Does anyone know anything about the following site which says you can download music for free and is adware/spyware/malware free?

PC Advisor have run a thread on it and their members seem to think it's ok.

Any views from our members?

I can set up a website tomorrow and give you over 200gig of 'free' stuff ... all you have to do is sign-up and you can have access to all areas.

You just pay me to "join the club" and I'll send you the password.

Dear Mucks

Maybe it's a bit late or I might not be switched on properly but I don't understand your reply - are you saying 'leave it alone?' - is it not what it might seem?

Sorry for my fuddle!!

Gabs,

Anything you "download" that YOU do not have copyright to is ... illegal.

P2P programs are NOT illegal ... though if the likes of Sony have their way they will be.

There are OPEN sites that you CAN legitimately download what they offer ... Freeware, Shareware & open sauce stuff ... even some music.

Personally ... I will not recommend that site.

OK, thanks point taken. Haven't touched it - just read about it on PC Advisor. Sorry if posting the link was a bad idea - I just wanted to show people.

Sorry again.

NO apologies needed Gabs ... Some of these 'other' forums aren't exactly very picky in what can and cannot be posted.

You asked a bonafide question ...
