David asks…
can I get in trouble for WATCHING pirated movies on the internet?
Of course, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to upload them or anything like that but I am wondering what the law says about watching the new hollywood movies on sites such as google video or youtube? Can I get in trouble for watching them if I knowwhere to find them?
admin answers:
You can watch them on line or download them for private usage …. No one will come knock at your door with an arrest warrant.
The only people who are in any sort of imminent danger of criminal prosecution are those who post them & those who profit from them.
Laws are the same for using your VCR to record a TV show … It is copyright protected as well, however, the courts will not set a precedent by issuing warrants for the majority of the population in the country just because they have an episode of “24” on a VHS tape in their living room.
Same goes for downloading movies online.
Too too many people do it.
They are working on stopping the sources rather than the users.
Sleep well, my friend, & view or download as many as you like.
You won’t EVER get in any legal trouble for that.
Just like millions & millions of other people.

Have you considered using iTunes gift cards instead to get your songs?
Thankfully, there is a way to get an iTunes giftcard, or any other gift card for FREE. It will even be sent via email and not your real address. My friend invited me over a month ago and now I’m getting like $1-3 a day from that site. No credit cards required, and real-life information is not thoroughly needed. The best thing about this, is that is is free and absolutely legal!
I newly joined on the 26th of December. To this current date, I now have redeemed a $25 iTunes gift card and a $10 Amazon Gift Card as well.. It even only took them 2 days to send it to my email after trying to redeem it.
Thanks to my friend’s blog, I will no longer be buying itunes cards, and other accessories for my kids video games over the store since I know I will be getting more of these things for free online.
It would help if you sign up for him on his website, and he will be the one to help you through with any concerns about earning your gift card..
You definitely should check it out! You can find it at

Copy itunes files on new itunes account without them being deleted?
My computer that had my itunes library on it crashed and i lost all my files. is there anyway that when i make a new itunes account all of the songs on my ipod won’t be deleted? also is there any site for downloading music that is legal and has a flat price everymonth besides limwire/ napster/ and itunes. maybe a good way to back up my library for future precautions
admin answers:
For part one of your question, if you connect your iPod to your new iTunes and go under “file”, you will see “transfer purchases” near the bottom. This will transfer all purchased items from your iPod to your computer.
I know a legal way to get free music. You just need to find a music video of the song you want on Youtube or Google video.
For Youtube:
1. Find a Youtube video of the song you want.
2. In the URL, replace “Youtube” with “Voobys”.
3. Download the converter.
4. Download the video.
5. Open Voobys using the icon on your desktop.
6. Find where you saved the video, then convert into “iPod”.
7. Go under “File” in iTunes, and “Add File To Library”.
8. It will show up under movies. Find it, and under the “Video” tab, change “Movie” to “Music Video”. Edit any other information and sync.
9. Done!
Google:
1. Find the video. **Remember** Before searching for the video, check the circle “Only Videos hosted by Google”, which is under the search box, so that youtube videos don’t come up.
2. To the right of the video is a “Download” button. Well, you know what to do.
3. In iTunes, go to “File->Add file to library”. Find the file and add it.
4. It will show up under movies. Find it, and under the “Video” tab, change “Movie” to “Music Video”. Edit any other information and sync.
5. Done!
Richard asks…
is it possible to get a virus from PureVolume?
when you download songs from purevolume, is it possible to get a virus?
admin answers:
Of course it’s possible, just like its “possible” to get infected simply by visiting Yahoo…yes I said Yahoo…it HAS happened in the past.
It is possible to get a virus simply by just visiting ANY compromised website.
In short there is no 100% absolute safe place on the internet.
When you download “stuff”, the risk is magnified, somewhat. Legal downloads are almost always safe. Illegal downloads of copyrighted music, software, movies etc are often virus infected. It looks to me, that this PureVolume is legit and offers legal material.
PureVolume seems to be OK, so McAfee SiteAdvisor says:
“McAfee TrustedSource web reputation analysis indicates that overall this site poses minimal security risks – however, please examine the detailed analysis to ensure you are comfortable with any risks.”

James asks…
Are there still movie sites out there that DON’T stream their videos?
Streaming movies require few people on whatever site the movie‘s on. Are there still sites out there which don’t stream their movies, still using the video system that allows the whole movie to load while playing (or on pause while doing something else)?
I’m sick and tired of having every movie I watch stop every three minutes and load for another two.
admin answers:
Yes many sites offer downloading of videos, but most of them are illegal. You can also download tools like Internet Download Manager which will take streaming videos and download them as a file (except for hulu). I am not sure if its legal but I BELIEVE it is as long as you delete the file after viewing.
