3 Important Lessons About Downloads

By Andrew Halliwell


Reasons to Legally Download MP3s

File sharing websites has made it easier than ever to download music and share it with others. The problem with this is that most of these sites are illegal. Downloading music that isn't yours without paying for it is stealing. By not paying for it, you're not giving the artist any money for making the music you're listening to.

The other alternative isn't only going out and buying CDs that can be expensive. Many websites do actually offer legal MP3 downloads. Downloads from these legitimate websites are licensed by either the record company or the artist, so they don't break any copyright laws. Following copyright laws is the greatest benefit of downloading MP3s legally, but there are actually a few more you might not have thought about.

1. High Quality Files

Oftentimes with illegally downloaded music, the quality will be poor or the content will be incomplete. Legally downloaded MP3s will always have high quality files that won't corrupt halfway through the download and they will be the correct format.

2. Fast Downloads

Legal MP3 download websites only offer their users the fastest download speeds possible. Because people pay for their products, they know people will go elsewhere if they aren't satisfied. With file sharing sites, the speed of the download depends on the person you're getting the file from, which can be really slow.

3. Protection from Viruses

Downloading websites that are legitimate frequently update their security measures to protect your computer. You can rest assured that you are downloading music without viruses, spyware, or adware attached to it.

4. Better Organization

Licensed websites are more user friendly. They organize all of their downloads by genre and they can be searched by either song title or artist, making finding what you need a breeze. MP3s will never be misspelled, mislabeled, or given awkward titles, so they will always be easy to find and you'll never have to rename them once you've downloaded them.

5. No Violations

Due to the fact that the website is licensed for the legal downloading of MP3s, it won't break any copyright laws and you'll never have to worry about paying any fines. There also wouldn't be a need to worry about the website ever shutting down because it's pending a lawsuit due to copyright infringement.

Although many people are hesitant to pay for music, especially after they've discovered the world of illegal file sharing, there are many benefits that make it the better choice. Numerous websites understand this hesitancy, so they offer free trials or money back guarantees. For better sound quality, protection from viruses, and knowledge that no laws are being broken, legally downloading MP3s is well worth the price.
