    Seems they support themselves with ads on the website. The music is supposed to have drm on it so they're technically leasing it to you. There's a legal way around that though...

    You also need their player

    Downloaded an album in about 5 minutes, cool.

    ...hate the album, but whatever.

    Smells like a trap

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Do tell, please.
    edit: I'm interested more in the legal aspect, rather than the technical part.
    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

    Tunebite and its use exploits a legal loophole which has been unsuccessfully hard-fought by the music industry: the so-called “analog hole”. This worldwide legal loophole provides the opportunity of legal private use by the analogous recording of media while it is being played. This can be compared with music from the radio, or movies from TV, which can be legally recorded onto cassette recorders or VCRs. Tunebite uses this principle by the analogous re-recording of tracks that are played back.
