I feel your pain. I never did join any of the pay music sites because I was afraid. I heard they were illegal too but I'm not sure. I wish you could just get the music for free. I never like the whole cd so I end up listening to just a couple of the songs. Doesn't that whole wait 2 weeks for a new debit card thing just suck.

i finally got my brother to put a cd burner in my computer. it took me a solid year to convince him i would only download stuff that is legal.
so, he puts the burner in and i go online to find a legal download site. i find one that charges $1 a month and says it's legal, but you have to pay for 4 years. so i sez to myself "self let's get this one" and i send in my debit card stuff and i got the service. all nice and proper, so my genius brother won't give me the "you are criminal" look.
then i open up the service, and it says, basicly if you paid for this you got took.
so i call the bank and ask them to cancel the transaction. turns out, you have to cancel the debit card before the transaction goes through. so i cancel my debit card and the bank is supposed to send me a new one. with a new pin # i know i will never remember.
so now i sit here, no gas in the car so i can't go anywhere, no debit card so i can't buy anything anyway. and a brother who is giving me the "you ain't paying for it, so it's illegal and your are criminal and are going to spend years in prison" look. he's probably right, cause i got johnny winter's new cd that has been out less than 2 months.
hope they let me bring all my new cd's to jail with me.

all i really need is sympathy and some "poor baby"s.

Never, never that say NEVER! use you debit card on line! You are responsable for every last cent they charge you! With a credit card transaction atleast you can challenge any excess charges or even the entire pruchase if you have good cause.


ummmm....oops. Just did that today. I haven't had a problem yet but I did just read an article on how easy it is to get your info when you use it on line. Maybe I won't be doing that anymore.

Deye!!! you feel her pain. How very clintonian!

bawbie. you poor thing. I really would love to help you out of your trouble. I left my gas can sitting on my back porch. Feel free to help yourself to all you need.

I use bearshare, it's free with all kinds of tunes. They say it's legal because of how it's set up. Won't go ito all the details here. My friends have used it for years with no problems.
I feel comfortable using my CREDIT card only online. Debit card is about the same as cash, isn't it?
