legality of downloading music
 
I paid about 25.00 to mp3download.com for a two year service. They then directed me to a list of sites to choose from. I chose Limewire, and upgraded to Limewie Pro. Since I paid this fee, does this mean that I am not downloading songs for free? In other words since I paid the $25.00, doesn't that justify me paying for my downloads?

technically, no, but would the RIAA take the time to look at that?

Unfortunately yes. I have already contacted my credit card for a chargeback. At this point, I'm not quite sure what I paid for if I'm still doing this illegally. I like Limewire, but I think I'll switch to a paid site, especially in the wake of the 261 lawsuits filed on Sept. 9 by RAII.
They reccomend Streamware or Rhapsody. I hate to leave LimeWire and Kazaalite, but I just can't take any chances.

That was the site. However, it wasn't under constrution at the time. My credit card has issued a credit.

Cyclocide has been blocking ads to such sites and wants to be notified

Maybe he has more ideas.
Glad to hear you got your money back.
