| Most of us used to buy tracks in record stores. But now it happens seldom. Presently it is common for music fans to download new recorded tunes from the Web to their MP3 players. Yet, before you were aware that CDs with songs you had purchased were licenced and you were not infringing any copyright rules and regulations.
Now it is important to be well-informed about music copyright regulations in order not to be sued by a recording business for infringement of copyright. Well, how to buy the best music at a quite reasonable cost & not to be taken to court? First, stop browsing at any online music download websites that offers you a lot of music absolutely free of charge. Surely, from time to time young gifted but not yet famous singers or bands offer their tracks free at their sites. But if you have been offered free access to songs of music celebrities, flee from there as quickly as possible! Does this mean that you have to download expensive tunes from now on and save on other things that you have been enjoying to the fullest before? You are mistaken!
The industry of online licenced music download websites offers you a great range of membership and purchasing options. Here's some introduction into pricing that might be interesting to you. First, some sites have traditional charges for downloads. No membership commission is included, and you are allowed to watch short clips of tunes before purchasing the one you really love. The rates normally range from $0.99 to $1.29 per tune.
If this way of buying music on-line does not appeal to you, there are sites that offer you a paid membership along with reduced charges (usually around $0.67) for downloading songs.
Or else there is also a monthly subscription pattern, which means that you may download a certain number of tunes per month. They also offer a user a free trial period to get acquainted with the music they sell. More than that, they will let you download some tunes (ABOUT TEN - TWENTY FIVE songs) free during this period. If you do not take the membership offered after the so-called trial period, all the tunes you have downloaded from a site will be for good yours. |
