No. If that were a valid excuse, then people who are caught would just say "Oh, I was just going to buy it later" and no one could prove them wrong. Bottom line is that when you download music, and especially a high profile album like one that hasn't been released yet, you run a risj of getting caught. And then you will definitely pay later.

How do i download a full album on LimeWire?

It's not possible for what i know. You may need to try asking someone else as i have absoutely no idea. For what i know so far after having limewire for about 2 years i do not think there is a way to download a whole album. You must know limewire is free so you can't really expect to be able to download the whole album. If you would like the whole album try using a thing called "ITUNES" Cause that will help. =]

Is there a website where you can legally download any album for free?

Legally, no. There are plenty of sites where you can get some albums free, but these are mostly "fringe" bands trying to get recognized, and generally not very good. Some big name bands and singers will release a free album online occasionally, but these are quite rare, and generally not their best work. All in all, if you want to get a wide variety of good albums you have to choose between paying for them and breaking the law.

What CD has Bad Company's the boys are back in town?

This is a Thin Lizzy song and Bad Company did not cover this. I think this song is from the album "Jailbreak." If you download music from LimeWire or some other P2P service, they always have songs like this mislabeled.


Is there other programs that are like LimeWire but actually legal?

Limewire in its self is a perfectly legal program. You may notice that before you download it, you tick a box saying you agree not to use the program to exploit copywrited songs. This protects the people that make limewire. There is no law against people sharing files, just against people hosting copywrited material. It is illegal to download a copywrited song, but not to use limewire, so dont expect to get arrested if you have the program. These music lawyers have bigger fish to fry: the guys who have "open folders" on their computer allowing people to download copywrited material. Besides, if we want more of this music in the future, then the best way to go about it is to buy the album so the aritst and producer can make another one, and want to. BE FAIR!!!!

Do you have to download iTunes to transfer LimeWire music to iTunes music?

No. Don't get limewire, be smart and use regular torrents. Get utorrent, then go to isohunt.com and type in what you want. They have everything there, games, Microsoft office, every music album imaginable. When you want to download something, go to the site and click download. A little box will come up, just say ok. When the file stops downloading, save it in your downloads or documents (your preference) and then just import the folder from itunes.


If you are a new musician should you wait to release an album or just put up a single?

Given the huge commercial success of music download sites, a new musician would do well to release a single, even if the full album were not available to release simultaneously (which is the ideal situation).
