This means that you havn't downloaded/bought the game. There should be an option that says, "play offline" if you want to use that.
Premium means that you bought Minecraft, not playing it for free. Some servers require premium status to play on.
because you need to buy a premium account of minecraft.net
It sounds like you've got the client but haven't registered a premium account yet, which you need to do on the Minecraft website.

If you only made an account on minecraft, without buying the game, then the account won't be premium of course if you buy it, it'll probably come up with some stupid bullcrap like User not premium a month later, like it did with me.
Delete %appdata%\.minecraft and change your password. Then in the login screen, hit options and force update.
The signup for a Minecraft account is free. But purchasing Minecraft (or getting a premium account, however you want to say it) is not free, unless somebody gives you a gift code. As of right now, I believe Minecraft is around $27 to buy. Note: Downloading Minecraft is free. But if you log into the Minecraft launcher without purchasing Minecraft, it will say something like "User not Premium". Download Minecraft: minecraft.net/download Sign up a Minecraft Account: minecraft.net/register
it is a free user and a premium user, free user is free but has to wait 45 minute before downloading, premium user is fast but not free.
The best way to go about getting a premium account is asking for a referral from a user that already has premium. The user can tell you what premium offers, how much it is, and is it really worth it.
Yes Here you go User: Notch Pass: yllaerton hey notch what is your email your account is migrated???
Minecraft can be downloaded for Macs directly from the Minecraft website. They have downloads for most operating systems there. On the Download page, the user will have to click on the highlighted sentence that says "Show all platforms" under Minecraft for Windows.
You log on by typing in your user name and password and clicking enter. Also make sure you have bought the game first.
