Advantages of Legal MP3 Downloads

By Brian Clavijo


Benefits of Legally Downloading MP3s

With the rise of file sharing websites, it's never been easier to download music. The issue is that this isn't legal. Taking music that you didn't pay for and downloading it onto your computer is stealing. By not paying for it, you're not giving the artist any money for making the music you're listening to.

The other alternative isn't only going out and buying CDs that can be expensive. There are actually many websites out there that offer legal MP3 downloads. All MP3 downloads from these legitimate websites are licensed by the actual artist or their record company so that no copyright laws are ever broken. Following copyright laws is the greatest benefit of downloading MP3s legally, but there are actually a few more you might not have thought about.

1. High Quality Files

With illegally downloaded music, people often will find that what they downloaded is extremely poor quality or file is incomplete. On the other hand, legal downloads will always be superior quality that won't corrupt during download and they are also the correct format.

2. Fast Downloads

Legal MP3 download websites only offer their users the fastest download speeds possible. These websites are reliable because their success depends on their customers' level of satisfaction. File sharing sites are much different in the way that downloading speed depends upon the person you're downloading from, not the actual website.

3. Protection from Viruses

Downloading websites that are legitimate frequently update their security measures to protect your computer. You can rest assured that you are downloading music without viruses, spyware, or adware attached to it.

4. Better Organization

Licensed websites make their layout user friendly. They usually organize their MP3s by genre and they can be found by searching for an artist's name or the song title. Songs also won't be mislabeled, misspelled, or given strange formatting, so it will be easy to find once you download it.

5. No Violations

Since the website is licensed for legal downloading, you never have to worry about copyright laws or paying fines for illegally downloaded songs. You'll also never have to worry about the website shutting down because it's pending a lawsuit due to copyright infringement.

Although many people are hesitant to pay for music, especially after they've discovered the world of illegal file sharing, there are many benefits that make it the better choice. Many sites understand this tentativeness and are so confident in their services that they offer free trials or money back guarantees. For better sound quality, protection from viruses, and knowledge that no laws are being broken, legally downloading MP3s is well worth the price.
