When file sharing is illegal in NZ will i still be able to download mp3 files from sites such as Newgrounds?
ChrisDowdney
Yes, First of all, the MP3 files on Newgrounds are legal. They are all licensed under a Creative Commons license, which means they can be distributed for free. Secondly, not all file sharing is illegal. Files that can be legally redistributed, such as the music on Newgrounds or freeware programs, can be shared.
