Blue Destiny Google Case Dropped

|

Blue Destiny – a small blues-based music label with huge ambitions – has dropped its (potentially) landmark case against Google. Allegedly the reason Blue Destiny had to back off was because of the huge amounts of cash it discovered it needed to fight Google’s army of lawyers.

This decision is a fairly important one for Google, since it was hoping to get some kind of permanent resolution as to whether it needs to watch what it links to or otherwise (think filesharing sites like The Pirate Bay and Rapidshare). The retreat by Blue Destiny must feel like a bitter-sweet victory in many ways. One result is that the whole question now hangs in the air unresolved, and Google don’t want that… the Search Engine giant is now moving back into the courts to ask for a judgment on its infringing of copyrights in this way. Now the aggressor, Google must think that it is in with a decent chance of success.

Big content industries, many of whom claim to be directly affected by filesharing, will now be very afraid of a Google success in this matter, and they will be watching the saga very closely indeed. A decision in Google’s favor will be very costly for them indeed.

The rest of us will just have to wait and see; watch this space, people!

Taylor Swift Helps Combat Floods In Nashville

|

Media startlet and fantastically wealthy singer Taylor Swift has donated half a million of her hard earned dollars to the victims of the Nashville floods.

Nashville – the home of country music – has been badly effected by floods which have seen many people lose their homes, and many musicians lose expensive equipment, practice rooms, and has caused the cancellation of many concerts. The flooding of Nashville might not seem much different when compared with so many other natural disasters across the world, but it is Nashville’s iconic status within music circles that makes this particularly moving to many in the industry. Perhaps it is the fact that this place is so near to musician’s hearts that has helped them to give so generously.

Swift has shot to fame of late and, despite her tender age of 20, has been ranked the US’s 69th most powerful celebrity. Her albums in 2008 sold a combined four million copies. Wow.

Whilst half a million might be a relative pittance to someone of Swift’s means, it is a moving gesture that will surely help get relief efforts under way. Hopefully it will also start an avalanche of other wealthy stars providing the area with much needed monetary assistance.

Options for Free Music Download

|

Several people are looking for cheap sources for a music download. This is obvious with the number of sites created to meet the increasing demands from the music enthusiasts. However, the only dilemma is that not all of these sites are authentic enough. Most people looking for music online are tech savvy and hence the first places they go to search for your music download is the search engines.

As far as the sources are concerned, these could be categorised in three main groups.

The first of these groups is the market place for the media player you use. For an example, iTunes would be first source to appear on the search engines.

The second sources would be the free sites on the internet, whereas the third would be the list of membership sites.

The free sites do not provide any kind of service to the users. In reality, a majority of these free sites do not screen the content posted by the users and might contain incomplete or corrupt files as well. The third source, which is the free membership sites, would allow you unlimited music download opportunities for a one time fee of $50 or less. These sites are highly convenient, reliable and provide support round the clock.

Get Files Easier With the Use of Limewire Software

|

Limewire is the best place for downloading files. Since the application is a peer to peer client of Gnutella network, the choices and options of files can be very wide. The application was developed to be utilized easily by the users, which is the reason why it is famous in the field of file sharing.

Using Limewire is a lot easier than you can imagine. When you already found the file that you want to download, make sure first that it isn’t corrupted by clicking the launch button. Previewing it will also make sure if the file you have found is the one you are looking for.

Limewire enables you to save the files automatically to your computer. If you do not know the target location, go to Options menu and check the save setting. You can change the location of the file by going to the directory and clicking browse.

When using Limewire, make sure you finish all downloads first before closing the application. The files that were actively downloading when you exit in the program will all be stopped. However, you may still continue the download next time if the source of the specific file is connected to the Gnutella network.

Anime Music Download

|

Ever since the piracy laws have come into existence, free music download are no longer available. There are digital rights protecting the song or the band, which refrain the legal downloads of music. However, the users can listen to their favourite songs online and the process is known as live streaming.

Anime music is in rage today, even though the music is in Japanese, the tone is quite captivating. As far as the anime music download is concerned, there are hundreds of sites which offer the chance to download theme songs to Card Captor Sakura, Samurai X, Naruto and bleach. These anime tunes could be used as message or mobile tones. Since the music is completely into Japanese, subtitles are mandatory. Translation with the sub-titles is not up to the mark and hence people find it funny at times.

An Anime music download is completely free since a majority of the anime cartoon series are freely distributed by the makers. Therefore the costs of all the products which accompany these cartoons are free, except the t-shirts or wallpapers. You can also select the voices of your favourite characters or any particular anime theme music.

FrostWire: A Primer on the Free P2P Software

|

FrostWire is the name of a peer to peer program for file sharing. It is meant to be used for the Bittorrent and Gnutella protocols. The program is written in Java and came from LimeWire. The program is free software and was released under a GNU General Public License. Downloading it from the internet can be facilitated safely through its official website.

The FrostWire project was started way back in September of 2004. It was made by members of the LimeWire open source community in response to a decision of the distributor of LimeWire to add a blocking code, due to pressure from the RIAA.

Because FrostWire was written in Java, the free peer to peer software can support multiple platforms. Unlike LimeWire, there is no paid version of the program and its windows version is bundled with a toolbar of Ask.com. It incorporates the functionality of the free version of LimeWire together with a few of LimeWire Pro upgrades.

But there is one FrostWire feature which cannot be found with LimeWire, and that is an online chatroom. The feature makes use of XMPP protocol and enables the user to share with individual messenger friends. Connections are encrypted by TLS.

Ares Download for the Vista Operating System

|

Ares Download is one of the oldest P2P file sharing program. It was originally intended for music files download only. However, because of the fast upload and download rate in this application, it was used to share all other types of files as well.

Ares Download was first developed as an open source application in 2002. However, the oldest version is hard to use and is far from being user-friendly. Since it is an open source program, its users started tweaking and improving it. The most recent version of Ares is the Windows 7 version.

This version of Ares Download is more user-friendly than ever. It has bug fixes that are commonly giving Vista and Windows 7 users a trouble during the installation process. With this latest version of the program, everyone can now enjoy the advantages of having a fast download and upload rate.

The Ares Download compatible with Vista and Windows 7 is now one of the most widely used P2P file sharing program. It is now far superior to the first version of the program. It you are still having problems with this version, do not worry because there is a free 24/7 technical support for it.

Wary of Using Ares P2P File Sharing Services

|

I have always been a little wary of using P2P file sharing services. Mainly because I am worried I will get in trouble with the law. Now I have another reason to worry about doing this, since there was an article in the paper about how limewire causes security breach. I would only use this sort of program on a computer that didn’t have any information I wouldn’t be willing to let other people see. I can’t believe someone put it on a work computer, that is just clueless. Depending on what they were downloading the might have been breaking the law, and they risked their job as well since most companies don’t allow this sort of thing.
