Music By The Truckload
Thank you, Ukraine.
I never thought I'd be getting music from the Ukraine, but that's just fucking cheap. That's right, a dollar fifty per 100 megs of songs. I mean, my God, within a few minutes, I got all of Max Payne 2 and Diablo II (just for giggles). I've been looking for Max Payne mp3s FOREVER. This an awesome alternative for people who can't use Kazaa. I mean...Jesus.
More on this as I download.
UPDATE: This is official text on why it's legal, basically saying that twhile what they are doing is legal, you need to do your part and be moral about what you do with the music.
Being the Ukrainian leading proponent of inexpensive and easy-to-use downloadable music, M-Club believes in a consumer's lawful rights to encode, copy, collect, purchase and listen to their personal music collections in the MP3 format. We fully support an MP3 user's right to:
"Rip" and encode their own CD music collections into digital music files for their own personal use and enjoyment.
Make as many copies of their digital music files as they would like for their own personal use. This freely allows consumers to copy their MP3s on any number of their own computers in various locations, as well as on to their portable MP3 hardware players.
"Burn" their music files onto compact discs for their own personal use.
Copy and distribute their music files to members of their immediate family.
However, M-Club also strongly supports the rights of musicians and other copyright holders to decide how and where their music is distributed. We believe that artists, songwriters, publishers and record labels should be financially compensated for their work. Although there is a lot of public misunderstanding over these issues, the U.S. copyright law and the 1997 NET Act are very clear about protecting these creator's rights. As such, we ask our customers (and all MP3 users) to comply with these laws by:
Not distributing copies of their digital music files to people outside their own immediate family, without permission of the copyright holder. This includes making unauthorized, full-length MP3s available to others through Email, compact discs, FTP sites and file-sharing utilities such as Napster, Gnutella etc. Whether for commercial gain or not, this behavior is against the law.
Supporting artists and labels that are making their music catalogs available for sale legitimately in MP3. By respecting their trust, it will encourage others to do the same.
We thank you for your interest and support of legitimate downloadable music. If you have questions or feedback about this document, please send email to: mclub@te.net.ua
