http://www.Limewire-software.com. is not official Limewire site http://www.limewire.com is.

You were scammed by a very clever scammer.

gutted !!

downloaded 360share when looking for limewire cost $39.00
for slow poor downloads.

scammed for something that was free.

beware!!

While doing a google search for downloadable music, www.mp3musiq.com came up. Wow! What a find! Download millions of songs and movies... all my favorites... FOR FREE!... at least according to the website.

The come on is almost irresistable, isn't it? All your favorite songs and movies that you have to pay for everywhere else are available for a real cheap membership.

But, I didn't buy. I googled the URL and ended up here. What an eye opener. I sampled several of the blacklisted sites. The come on is the same... free downloads of your "favorite" movies and songs. These b@stards really ought to be tied to a post and shot.

But then again, five bucks says that the majority of the suckers weren't looking to download my videos of my vacation in Greece. Nor were they trying to download my brother's original guitar compositions (which, by the way, are very good). No, they were looking for ways to avoid paying for copyrighted materal. Thus, it is the greed of those that want something for nothing that keeps the scammers in business. Free music! Free movies! The Nigerian 419 scammers should have been so clever to come up with this one.

Now certainly there are some that use the P2P network for legitimate, legal downloads, but I cannot help but believe that those who get sucked into the scams (all 22 pages of them as of this writing) were looking for something for nothing... a way to get copyrighted material that would otherwise have to be paid for. They've been suckered by the promise on every one of the scam sites... download millions of movies and songs.

So, while I have sympathy for those that have lost their money, I see a great balance in the universe: Those that would cheat the copyright holders by buying into the scam websites' promises are in turn cheated. All is well in the universe.

Flame on brothers and sisters. My flame suit is zipped up.

Cheers.

You know, you may have a point, i.e. the clever dumb balance, for every clever act there is a dumb act to balance it out.

However, there seem to be more victims of these scam sites than people who use their common sense, like you have, and avoid them.

how is pro better than free? i already bought it but was just wondering? how can someone who uses limewire complain about people being fustrated at being ripped off simply because they wanted to use the program which is offered free to everyone. And as far as charma, people who share files are being nice to share whatever they are willing to share unless it is a virus , the people who are downloaded shared files most likely would not have paid to see it but are thankful to watch because someone was nice enough to share. People who really like a band dont stop going to their concerts just because they can hear it on their computer. And people who loved to go to the movies dont suddenly stop going because they downloaded some version that is less than theater quality. Reality, singers and actors make too much money anyhow. don't get me wrong i like them just as well as the next person but they are all for free speech, art, freedom of expression, insipiration, and they get all sorts of things for free because they have influence but when it comes to their money or being compensated for their work people are just down right wrong and illegal to want to listen to it or see it without paying. give me a break, i mean how many thousands of dollars is one song really worth or how many millions of dollars can a few months of playing pretend be worth? Can file sharing really be hurting their pockets so much? Or are they the ones being greedy?There is nothing wrong with being paid well for a job well done but i hate feeling suckered when something is advertised and then is some what of a letdown they play up the best parts sometimes just to trick you into paying when it turns out to be horrible. Given some things are really good entertainment i still dont feel bad because they make plenty of money without getting what little i have. There are exceptions and i do still spend money on entertainment (movies and songs,ect.) but i does make be feel a bit like some really spoiled people are fussing cause they dont have enough stuff .And i suppose to feel like getting scamed by scam artist with the intent on taking ur money for nothing is equal to some people learning how to share their stuff.

i think im one of them er 'newbs' that just got scammed and im so angry! anyone heard of mp3musichq.com? well i was told to pay 14 88 for unlimited downloads and another 9.99 for the pro version! and me being dumb i paid and all i got was the free version of limewire (which im extremely pleased with by the way). but still paying for something i coulda had free makes me sick and the thing that makes me sicker is my credit card company are still going to allow the payment to go through even though i rang them about an hour after i had been #'scammed' when i had wised up!i only realised when i tried to use the so call pro that id been had!anyway should i put this down to experiance or is there anyway of getting my money back? cos i cant get it back from my credit card company and the site i got it from dont even have proper helplines! oh how dumb am i!!

Simple answer!

Do not be so quick to part with your cash, patience has it's rewards and this is even more so on the internet, in the materialistic world it can be said you get what you pay for, I for one do not believe this statement holds true for the internet, believe me when I say I have got better software free or cheap just by looking around and not settling for the flashy all singing all dancing stuff thats on the internet.

But hey! if you want to throw your cash away, throw it this way ;-)

Excellent post ...

Now ...

.................how to make sure everybody using the internet reads it BEFORE parting with their money?........................

Hi to everyone I am brand new. I have just filed a complaint with the FBI about My Music Inc. I then contacted MY Music Inc through the Website ( ie Contact Us ) to let them know that a complaint had been filed. I received an e-mail in 1 nano second to say sorry that you have decidd to cancel your lifetime subscription accounts will be in contact with you in the next 3 days. They wanted to know why I had decided to cancel my membership and I told them that nobody has to pay to download movies or music on the P2P network, and that their company has been listed on the web as a SCAM COMPANY. I will let you know what the FBI and My MUsic Inc ( ie REFUND ) when I have updates from them. Bye for now Cheryl
