Legal v's illegal music download?
Hi Everyone What do you think about this?

with illegal downloads you run the risk of infecting your PC with viruses and malware which at some time will need to be repaired and it could also damage your digital music player with programs like limewire, bear share and any other illegal download service.

With legal download sevices the music is clean no viruses or malware it is unprotected so you can share it between your friends and family or burn it to cd and there so cheap like at here http://www.mp4direct.org/Mp3%20Download.html

on average a PC fix for a bad download it costs the unexperienced user around $160.00 so is the illegal download worth it? because the average user could download hundreds of legal songs with $160.00.

among other things it's not legal!

So what do you think?
