Demonoid has been great for me!

Want to give me your password?

Not music, but TV shows for sure.

EZTV is great....

I download the torrent only if I can't find it on iTunes or Mubi or whatever, which is rare these days. ~$5 to rent is fine with me. 'Click'.

Music is mostly mix tapes or soundcloud for new music, both free, or I buy a half dozen or so CDs from Amazon of quality albums, for the both the sound quality and price. ~$9 for a CD shipped across the world.

Got rid of cable a long time ago.

Cheers for the hard porn website. I'm sure my wife would appreciate it.

Wow, I've used that site for the last twelve months for movies tv and music, never come across hardcore porn... But each to their own, I guess it's what ever you look for...

Glad your wife appreciates it

Use to download heaps via torrents etc. Got myself a conscience thou. Think its only fair to pay people for what they work hard to make :-)

I agree, i buy all my music.. but when it comes to TV shows that arent shown in aus and wont be available on DVD for another year at least, i just cant wait that long..

When I was young I bought some records. Then plenty of tapes. Then thousands and thousands of dollars worth of CDs.

I have never to my knowledge sold any of them. But now I have about 3 of those CDs, and maybe a record or two that survived in my parents collection and came back to me. Can anyone remember when CDs were sold as 'indestructible' music that would last a lifetime? I do. What a laughable claim that is now.

As far as I'm concerned I've pumped at least $10,000 into music (mostly when I was young and stupid and had disposable income) and that's my major contribution.

Now I'm happy to contribute by via tickets to a live show, or licenced merch, or very occasionally direct sales on the web for mp3s. Via artist's website.

I'm not happy to buy fat record label bosses an extension on the 4th wife's mother's condo.

You've lost or broken that many CDs? I still have all mine and never broken one unless I meant to

I think the secret is to use them in stackers and avoid handling them. The best thing I bought was a 101 CD stacker, but now with MP3s, you only need to rip them once and never have to play them ever again.

I have only done this once or twice but got freaked by the potential virus I was being exposed to, Is there a good site for kids catoons? or movies in general, I dont d/load anything really, I listen to the radio and scab off my mates but that about it?\

If anyone knows of a safe site I would be interested to have a look.

A few years ago my wife bought a Nokia 5800 mobile phone. That may sound innocent enough. The trick is this phone came with a one year subscription to the Nokia Music Service, or Comes with Music.

It was an offer too good to be true, a once in a life time offer. Over the year I downloaded around 100 GB of music. It all came with the track data along with album art. The Nokia Music service had a ton of music on it. Basically I was searching old music charts, reading old music magazines and using google to search for song and artist title. Then I'd pop the artist or song title into the search field and often half a dozen or more albums would pop up which I could then download.

The only issue was the files were DRM protected and in that WMA format. Searching revealed a piece of software that could legally remove the protection by playing a protected track and then re-recording the track as an unprotected file, as any music file format you like. This re-recording feature apparently is a legal feature than the American Congress forced on to allow this DRM file protection to be legal. The software, which I paid about $20 for, did about 10 tracks at a time.

End result. No new Music since 2009 but basically no need to buy any older music from now on and all 100% legal. Its not a bad phone either.

Gen Y don't buy CD's or DVD's any more they download or stream everything.

We moaned about the price of CD's for years. Not an issue now. Most 17yo's have never ever bought a cd.

Re- torrents. I believe people are getting pulled up for downloading games and Ms Software. But other than that I wouldn't worry about it.
