And I'll admit it, I used it religiously until, well, now. I know, I'm a loser.
Does anyone know any way I can get free music of whatever group/artist I want, almost any song, and fast without all the waiting bullcrap? Thanks.

With or without viruses?
I would recommend using torrents. It's very safe from viruses as you download from a community of torrent files that are rated and reviewed by people, so if any file is unsafe, it is taken off the website.
If you want to do that, download uTorrent and try sites like isohunt.com, the pirate bay, mininova, etc. If you want a code to Demonoid, let me know!
People still used limwire and crap like that?
beemp3
hahahahahaha limewire gets raped by the big stick of the law.
Use torrents, and always check the comments and such before downloading!
Thanks Rye, I'd love a code to demonoid! ;)
NOW where will I download top 40 hits in .exe form?
BeeMP3 and MP3Raid are some good sites that I *secretly* use. Being a broke teenager and all. =D
Spotify! It's legal as well. ;)
TFTHU
I still like me some p2p e.g. soulseek
Or you could... I dunno... BUY the music that you like, thereby ensuring that that artist continues making music...
Grrr.
Who would you be all high and mighty towards then?
By artist you, of course, mean record companies who treat musicians like dog :bou::bou::bou::bou:.Quote:

Find more stuff easier, really fast direct downloads and no uploading required. Mmm, life is good. :)
I've never really understood usenet. Halp?
4shared.com is really good for music. Just search what you want.
I didn't even know Limewire was still around. I use uTorrent - it's the best program I've ever used.
I figured Limewire was shutdown years ago. I used to use it for MP3s until they completely changed the look and killed the ability to search by artist, title, etc, because at that point every damn result you got almost was fake.
Luckily that was about the time I finally switched from dialup to broadband so I just moved on to stealing all my music through torrents like the rest of the world.
Now that I think about it, I used Limewire for about five minutes in 2004 before going "Let's see what this torrenting thing is about" and never looked back.
Yeah, stick it to The Man! *rolls eyes*Quote:

Your statement implied all record companies are automatons that treat their musicians badly (which is nonsense). Maybe that wasn't your intention at all though.Quote:

I have no idea how to use torrents
apparently some people don't have any idea how to use google either
Using implications to support your statement is kinda silly. No, not all record companies treat their artists badly, but the majority of them do not treat them as commodities and usually screw them over after a certain point. I do not see how this is nonsense, as this has come from the typed and spoken words of several musicians.Quote:

Also, bittorrent is old hat. Usenet and file upload sites are where it's at
Lol @ the idea that artists make money off record salesQuote:

I'm going to buy the next Smashing Pumpkins project when it comes out.
Just rip the audio track from youtube.
Please tell me how you got a free internet connectionQuote:

Seriously though, I had free internet for seven years this way and I don't pay for my current internet connection. Free internet isn't the least bit difficult to get.
I imagine your comment was supposed to be a sarcastic jab at me, but I actually use my internet connection for things other than pirating stuff. But at the same time I actually don't pay for an internet connection either and never have. It's not hard. :p
What kind of argument is this? "You're already paying for internet, might as well pay some more"?Quote:

he's saying that you're already paying for pirating stuff since most people pay for their internet anyway
except that's a silly argument, since most people would pay for the internet even if they didn't pirate stuff.
doesn't change the fact that the bandwidth you're paying for is used for pirating stuff instead of, for example, watching porn or educational stuff.
lots of people pay extra for extra fast internet without download limits, for the sole reason of downloading lots of pirated materials
i don't see how this is different from paying for a different kind of service that enables you to more easily download pirated stuff. Exactly how much is too much to pay isn't all that relevant, it all depends on how much money you're interested in putting into your piracy. my point is that this amount is very often more than 0.
I was surprised to see that Limewire was around until so recently. I was even more surprised to see Usenet is not only still around, but is recommended for this sort of thing.
Don't knock it, bro. The only downside is that it can be quite hard to filter through all the junk you don't want. But the selection on offer is huge.
This. I sincerely doubt anyone uses their internet connection just for pirating. :roll2Quote:

I'd like to introduce you to my good friends, HD Netflix Streaming and Steam.Quote:

I have Netflix and play video games online. My entire family uses Netflix, including my eight-year-old sister. The internet isn't just email. :roll2Quote:

But I do buy a lot of my music off this really cheap Russian music site that seems to get all our top music and boatloads of more obscure stuff that I like :}
Umm...try streaming HD movies (legally) on a 3MBPS or slower connection...Quote:
