torrents are also a cool thing to look in to… but its illegal… so uh…DONT look in to torrents for full cd downloads.
Torrents are not necessarily illegal…See my response to the subject in the above mentioned thread:
People get confused all of the time with the word “Torrent”. Torrent’s per se are not illegal. A torrent is a delivery system, that’s all. Just like CB said, it’s the content contained within the torrent, where the problem lies. If the content was obtained without permission from the copyright holder, it is indeed illegal.
With that said, there are plenty of legal torrents. Take for example the last 2 releases from the group ‘Nine Inch Nails’ (Ghosts I-IV and The Slip) were legally trasmitted over the internet via torrents.
But, unfortunately, there is far more illegal content being shared via torrents than legal; so the word ‘torrent’ gets a black eye.
To add on to what GB said, there are sites like Legaltorrents.com and Frostclick.com where you can get torrents that are completely legal. Now you might not find music by the big name bands you hear on the radio but dont let that stop you from checking it out, there are some amazing bands out there that license their music for free and you would never hear them on the radio.
