Is sharing music legal?

We do not condone copyright infringement, nor do the companies we have listed below. Due to the nature of peer-to-peer software, they are unable to monitor or control the types of files shared within the peer-to-peer communities.

How can you stay legal while using file sharing software?

Stay legal and avoid breaking the law.
Quick steps to stay 100% legal:

1. Make sure there are no potentially infringing files in your shared
   folders - meaning only files that are in the public domain, for which you have permission to share or are available under pro-sharing license.
   
2. Remove potentially misleading files names that might be confused with the name of an RIAA artist or song (e.g. Usher or Madonna) from your shared folder.
   
3. Disable the sharing or uploading features on your P2P application that allow other users on the network to get copies of files from your computer.

Streamcast and Grokster have won a major court decision in Los Angeles, shifting the tides of the on-line P2P legal war. Federal court Judge Stephen Wilson has dismissed much of the studios claims in their lawsuits against them, stating that Morpheus and Grokster were not liable for copyright infringements that took place using their software.

The ruling stated loud and clear that innovating decentralized peer-to-peer Gnutella-like software is perfectly legal, and should not be deemed illegal in the courts. The courts compared the technology with the innovation of the original Sony videocassette recorder(VCR).

The recording companies are not going to stop pushing their case in the courts. Many people that think there is nothing wrong with downloading music without paying for the songs will be in for a huge shock.  The fines will be substantial.  It's just not worth it so pray about it before you make the decision to download music for free simply because you have access.  There are ways to stay within the law so please use those options instead.
