I pay for albums if the artists deserve it.

Support local/smaller bands who are independent and refuse to bow to record companies. They're the sort of bands that require purchases.

For artists that are "big" or more popular I generally download unless they're good enough for me to want to own their album.

Pay... I only buy vinyls anyway...

I always buy but thats because im not sure about these sites.

A couple of questions cant you get virus' easily off of p2p sites? Cant they track your ip and possibly fine you/ cut you off the net etc?

If its no to the above whats the sites again?

I download the occasional film, but DVD's are so cheap and come out so quickly that it's hardly worth the hassle. And the quality is often poor.

My daughter downloads all her music for free.

Have to say though that I spent hours last night trying - unsuccessfully - to clean viruses off of our desktop. Three of them were embedded into music files. The PC will now have to go in for repair....the cost of which will more than wipe out any savings from free downloads. Of course it may be that they actually came from some of the dodgy sites I visit (the wonders of PrivateBrowing in IE....) but I prefer to blame it on the kids

i use extratorrant or btjunkie, everthing on these that you are looking for.
i download everything and have never got a virus or had a problem i got a hdmi connection so i then hook the computer to the tv and watch ll the new releases

we have 4 mp3/mp4s in the house and i have filled all them up with music from these sites

To be honest I'm quite lucky at work!

I sit in the corner of the office with my back to the wall of files. Basically anyone that approaches down the room I can hit the old ALT+tab well in time.
This means I'm free to do what I want....within reason.

Our lunch breaks here is an hour anytime between 12-2:30. (being back at your desk at 2:30)
Most of us listen to music so technically I could watch a film in that time and not look inconspicuous.

Only prob was the IT. The IT Police had taken down the ability to use media player and the same on real time. Winamp wouldn't work either and all these was due to missing codecs.
Luckily VLC came along and fixes all this!

VLC is small programme (like MP) which I copied onto a USB stick and saved and 'hid' the file deep on our server. It's small in size it's unnoticed.

So Basically at lunch I watch downloaded movies or series from home copied onto my USB stick.
On the stick currently is the latest episode of the Pacific, I'm getting into the Clone wars for some reason plus I've got 'catch me if you can' to watch!

i use VLC as well, i find it better then the media player.

I pay cos I don't have broadband, and even if I did I couldn't be bothered to download.

Can they track your ip? and what sites are best for non virus freebies?

btjunkie scramble,s your ip so it doesnt get tracked, the only time i ever got a virus was from limewire and i never used it again.
