Do you have to buy songs for the iPod shuffle?

I’m thinking about getting a Ipod shuffle but do I have to buy songs for the ipod? because I don’t want to can’t you just download them from Limewire?

Answer #1

Downloading copyrighted songs you don’t have legal rights to from limewire is illegal and wrong.

In the US you can legally “rip” songs from CDs you own though. I’ve purchased a few songs for my iPod but 99% of the songs on it are from albums I own. I understand in some other countries it is illegal to make copies of copyrighted material in a different format than the original even if it is for personal use.

Answer #2

you can use songs downloaded from limewire, or any other media ‘sharing’ program/website.

It is illegal, but thousands upon millions of people do this, so it is generally considered ‘normal’.
