Are there any legal free download sites?

Answer 1

Legal Free DownloadsIt depends on what you want to download. If you want to download movies, games, or music, legal free downloads are not possible due to copyright laws. They are intellectual property. Whoever holds the copyright to a particular movie, game, or song is the owner, much like people are owners of televisions, MP3 players, and other tangible property. If you download a copy of something that is copyrighted, it is considered stealing, much like if you walked out of a store with a game, CD, or DVD without paying for it. Therefore, it is not possible to download free copies legally, so there are no good site to do so.

It is much the same for software, ring tones, and other things that can be downloaded, but there are exceptions. If software is freeware or open source, permission is usually given to download a copy for personal use for free. It's a good idea to read the terms before downloading, though, to know what they are and exactly what you are allowed to do legally with any software or anything that is downloadable. Some reliable sites for downloading software that is legally free are: Download.com, Tucows, the site of the maker of the maker of the software, and others. Freeware that can be legally downloaded free is clearly marked on those sites.

Answer 2

Legally free download websites would normally require you to pay a certain fee. However, be aware since there are many websites which will charge you even though they offer illegal software.

I would suggest downloading torrents.

--------------------------------------------

To download torrent files (.torrent) from any website you first need a program that will let you download those files in that format. A very reliable torrent downloading software is Utorrent, which can be downloaded for free from:

www.utorrent.com/download.php

After downloading and installing Utorrent, you can simply go to any of the torrent websites I've listed below and search for torrent files. Remember that when you download the torrents, it will ask you whether to open or save the file. Select the 'Open with' option, and make sure the listed program to open with is 'Utorrent'.

Here are some of the most popular torrent listing websites:

- www.piratebay.org

- www.demonoid.com

- www.isohunt.com
