Eh after a good hour of searching and trying to figure out how to download myspace songs (most of the methods are now blocked <_< ) I came across a method that works. You can even use it to download the songs straight to your cell phone (Which is what I have been doing with my blackberry). http://blackberryvids.com/?p=165 I figure it's legal because it is made available by a source which makes them legally available. It also works for ALL artists. Also can be used to download videos and just about any file.
You can also use audacity to record it to your computer if you're using a desktop. That works with anything really. Whether it's youtube, myspace or imeem.
True, I'd prefer to simply download the song nearly instantly though and save myself 4+ minute of listening to the song. I'll use Audacity then for my Hulu screen recordings. Before I'd have to hold headphone to the laptop built in mic. What a pain that was. Thanks.
nope, its not legal. Streaming licenses are verrrry different to downloadable licenses (around $12000 a years difference)
Guess we're all guilty then because every time you stream a video or stream a song you can find it deep in your temp files. Hulu uses rtmpe which is a security measure from adobe which hides the stream and doesn't put it in your temp files. There was a large lawsuit about the issue a while back and the verdict was if you are downloading the video/song without intent to keep it there is nothing wrong with it. Everyone has the legal right to downloading the videos/songs for offline viewing or listening.
cache files can be DRM riddled so thats no problem, myspace doesn't use cache files, similar to hulu's concept but if you are downloading through sites such as F2HDD your downloading with intent to keep it, if you weren't, whynot just stream it?
My whole argument fails 9to you) because you failed to read the rest of the post. I don't know the intricacies of the court case but you can download any of the streaming songs and videos for offline viewing if it isn't with the intent to keep it. Key word there is 'download.' Otherwise downloading programs across the internet would be sued for what their one and only purpose is. I highly doubt firefox would host and distribute plugins that promote this. I don't feel like searching for the court case but if you're up for it have a blast.
but you intend to keep it for a duration of time, whether it be however long it takes you to listen to it or however long it takes you to listen to it 100 times. "Oh i'll download this new album but I'll only keep it for 10 years so its legal lolololol etc"
Actually that's really how it works in courts. If you can prove that you deleted it and had no intent to keep it in the first place then you're good.
