I know buying online is technically SaaSS
I don't think it is SaaSS. There is no program you could install
theoretically on your pc which does the job.
Buying online is just transmitting your information to the shop owner.
Maybe you are concerned with privacy issues and don't like to
That website is amazing while have to share really appreciated content and we
are looking for students.
I buy CDs that I like online from whatever online store sells them cheap.
Sometimes artists will have their own free downloads and I'll use those. I
know buying online is technically SaaSS, but there's usually no other way.
I'll occasionally torrent a new album that seems good to see if I
In my country, such terms don't have any legal basis. Youtube is free to
prevent me from using its service if I violate their terms of service, but
they can't technically.
But violating their terms of service is not violating the law.
The laws of countries don't matter when YouTube's terms of service say You
shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or similar
link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content.
You're welcome.
Best regards, ADFENO.
Have a nice day.
NixiePixel is the nickname of a lady (respectful meaning) which is quite
popular in the open source software and in the shared culture scenarios. She
has an official site [1].
Some people say that she is also popular in the free software and culture
scenarios but, as far as I know, not
Thank you so much! Very good comment and very informative!
Lol, the funny part is that I had actually watched her a few times on youtube
and had NO IDEA who she was xD
Anyway, I wonder... why did Hawk asked me if I had ever heard of her? Lol,
she seems to be type of girl who all nerds try to
Nope, never heard of. Who/what is he/she/it?
As I wrote in another thread, Bandcamp.com is great for fans of free culture
- all downloads available in FLAC and Ogg as well as mp3 etc
- artists can now choose Creative Commons instead of All Rights Reserved
- it supports a name your price (a.k.a. pay-what-you-want) business
model, which
Please don't use the word piracy

ships.
In the case of sharing I quote Richard Stallman sharing means
noncommercial redistribiution of exact copies
I support indie musicians by purchasing their CDs in bulk to give to friends
and radio stations. Recently began listening to Libre FM and have discovered
many excellent new (to me) musicians!

Unfortunately, the page doesn't load.
Perhaps librejs causes a problem.
Does the site require non free javascript?
I download my music from sites that are recommended by DefectiveByDesign.org
such as Jamendo and CD Baby. CD Baby offers FLAC and MP3, so I prefer using
FLAC. Then I transcode the FLAC files to Ogg Vorbis. Sometimes I listen to
Jonathan Coulton, Nils Gey, and Sirgazil.
I also buy CDs,
Dude... I almost cry right now Your comment is an inspiration. I
don't know what are your thoughts on piracy and sharing and all of
that... But when I read you comment, I saw the kind of world I want to live
in!
You listen to good music, which is shared by the creators themselves,
I don't want to sound preachy but just as a side note, the fact that a
music is in youtube does not mean it's free. Actually, sometimes youtube is
forced to delete some videos because they have a non authorized soundtrack
and someone noticed it.
If possible, for your own protection, just
Someone already mentioned this. The laws aren't the same in all countries.
In my case, I just download my music from YouTube itself. I just use
flvto.com to convert those videos into a mp3 file format. So far, I have no
issues on the conversion and the music quality is also good. I do agree that
music from amazon are more likely to have future problems especially
I think online converter tools like flvto.com are services which rms calls
service as a software substitute:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html
Since you don't identify yourself on www.flvto.com, I think it's not a great
problem using it.
But you can do the
Well, as I have stated in another post, I don't support the illegal
sharing/piracy of any kind of product. There are many wrong laws, and they
should of course be changed, but attacking and disrespecting the laws that
still protect people is not the best way.
One interesting story happened
One question about jamendo:
I would like to make a donation to the artists; what is the easiest way to do
so?
I don't see any easy-to-use contrib system, which is, actually, a shame..
I'm so glad you posted that link andermetalsh!! I've been looking for that
for a year now! Sounds like good info too. I love Magnatune!
Thank you all for recommending jamendo.
I didn't knew it yet and I love it!
Especially because I ever dreamed of making a short film with some friends
it's great so many available songs for this purpose; only few of the tracks
on jamendo contain a no-derivative licence.
Buying used CDs and ripping them to FLAC and the options available in
Clementine (i.e. Magnatune, Jamendo, etc.), and Bandcamp. I also buy
directly from the artist a lot of times either through their website or at
shows.
I downloading AMV(Anime Music Video) and trailesrs.
I thought about this topic some weeks ago and now with the appearance of the
movie-thread I thought it's a good moment for asking this similar question.
Though it might not be the worst decision to disobey the law and use
file-sharing services, I really ask for legal ways.
At the moment, I
I've downloaded my music from Jamendo or ccmixter and the records I get from
the local record store. I've got just about 50 vinyls and almost 20 CD's. I
don't care about the amount, why would I even want to own crappy music in the
first place?
I have my vinyls as FLAC's on the computer,
I buy my music used, on CD, from the local music store. It's run by these two
nice guys a few blocks away from my home. It seems that most online places
have it availble only as MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, or MP3 for short. Jamendo
is probably an exception but I still criticize them for not
I really like https://www.jamendo.com/en/
In Finland we have a private copying levy system in which we may borrow a CD
from e.g. a library and copy it, unless doing so would require breaking
digital handcuffs. (aka digital restrictions management DRM)
Most of the music in this box is ripped from my cd collection; the rest
is from friends and sharing sites. I haven't visited one of those sites
in over a year; now, I'm scared to;; lol. I stream far more than I
download. I recently discovered jamendo, thanks to a plugin on the
