iTunes (2 Viewers)

[santaslayer]

Why does iTunes like to play the next song even when the current one hasn't finished yet? This is especially the case when the song starts to lower it's volume...u know, when most songs finish they still don't go crazy with the music and all...can i remedy this? Also, what is in version 4.9? is it worth downloading? Thanks.

4.9 supposedly updates a few library objects and creates a new database, but the firmwares supposedly break quite a few things, so unless its needed don't upgrade

 

[santaslayer]

Thank you!

Oh really?

How do I play illegit music on iTunes?
This question is asked because I want to avoid doing so. Illegit music is illegal and unfair to the artists.

my version is 4.9.0.17 (so it says)

and last time i downloaded/updated, there was no difference, not that I noticed anyway.

I'm not sure why everyone has a fuss about how itunes can't play music that isn't bought from some cd store/itunes.

I believe (not that I would ever do such a terrible unlawful thing, I mean, I don't wanna steal from the artist) that my computer (which is nothing special), is able to save downloaded music into a folder (with consent of the artist, purely for promotional purposes eg local bands etc) and I can simple click "add file to library", locate the file, and it plays.

Not sure why any illegit songs would be any different. Why, do you think there is a particular problem if you hypothetically did such a thing?

I don't personally think there is a problem at all. The forum rules just restrict me from openly discussing its benefits (which I hear from people) if I ever decided to do such an thing.

I do understand that downloading music without consent from the artists is immoral and illegal.

 

[iamsickofyear12]

I just select my music from my folder and drag it into the itunes box.

 

[MedNez]

is it true i cant download music for free anymore?

Yes. Don't download music.

False answer ? My answer is morally and legally correct.

If the question was, "Is it true I cannot take things from a shop without paying anymore?",

Then the answer would be the same. Just because some people who break the law and commit larceny CAN get away without paying, doesn't mean anyone 'can', as such.

Hence, my answer is correct. Please do not dispute legal guidelines of this forum, and this country. Downloading music files is illegal, and will not be tolerated here.

No, it isn't, Mednez. Many mp3s are freely and legally available in this country, so to apply a blanket statement along the lines of "downloading music files is an illegal act" doesn't make much sense. However, I do realise that it it covers your arse as the sub-forum's moderator (and the admins as owners of this site, too).

However, I should add that just because a group (be it an artist/artistic group, production studio or radio station, or other) may provide a file may for download, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is being made available for sharing between peers.

 

[MedNez]

Heh. I was negating the legal mp3s that various artists provide for downloading, and other music sources like that. I was referring specifically to what most people on here refer to when they mean downloading mp3s, and that is, illegal sources of such.

the question is, do you do it yourself, stop lying to yourself...

 

[AsyLum]

The question is a legal question, one which affects the running of the forum. It is made with those interests in mind.

 

[stazi]

no one is fucking going to get sued because they discuss music on here. Nor is this website going to get a notice.
www.austech.info (an australian site) has people trading illegal mp3s, warez etc. Yet nothing happens there in terms of the law.
It's bullshit pretending that we're not all doing it.
I download mp3s all the time. Ok, not all the time as I buy cd's when I can for moral reasons. However, I do download MP3's.
I really hate this beating around the bush. I don't like how censored our society is becoming.

Like i said, it's in the interests of the forum rather than those using it. Im sure none of them want to go through the hassle of getting rung up etc. If you would like to provide your details, then i could personally forward it to the police if you feel so strongly that no one will be getting sued or arrested.

There is now legal authority to support the proposition that hyperlinking to sites which host pirated material is sufficient to constitute an infringement of copyright: Universal Music Australia Pty Ltd v Cooper [2005] FCA 972.

The test appears to be whether the administrator authorised the infringement of copyright by "permitting or sanctioning and facilitating" the infringement through his or her website. In this particular case, scripts behind the website accepted hyperlinks that were submitted by users, and those hyperlinks were then automatically published. Disclaimers informing users as to their obligations under copyright law were no protection.

I have instructed our moderators to remove all hyperlinks - within a reasonable period of time - which have a real possibility of attracting the attention of legal counsel in the music industry (or other industries).

Please do not publish links fitting that description on this website.

we're not talking about hyperlinks. we're talking about whether or not it's theoretically possible to do something.
"Is it possible for someone to rape three villagers from Kazakhstan (even though it is illegal)?"
Yes it is possible.

RADE PRACTICES – misleading and deceptive conduct – whether website and/or domain name conveyed misrepresentations regarding the legality of downloading copies of the music sound recordings from the internet

Not being a lawyer and only a lay person, I think that precludes any encouragement of such notions.

Im not entirely sure upon the legal concepts behind the discussion of illegal concepts as such, but since your example held illegal downloading and in reference to previous questions on the legality of mp3 downloads.
