Is downloading music from rapidshare or megaupload illegal?

I live on campus in a residence hall, and they’ve got really strict rules on file sharing and they can take away your internet or computer if you violate them, but i’m not sure whether or not rapidshare/megaupload are legal.

Chosen Answer:

My guess is that you already knew that downloading any form of music without purchase is illegal, but your real question is if you can get caught by downloading from megaupload/rapidshare

Since youre not uploading to any other users and it is a direct download it would be very difficult for the school to know what you are downloading. On the other hand, if you were getting music from bittorrent or p2p network it would be easier for the school to find out based on the traffic generated from uploads as well as connections to other users.

So you dont have much to worry about if you download content from upload sites.

Megaupload?

How can i pay megaupload using CommerceGate?

Chosen Answer:

Hi bro, this is easy, first you got to here

http://www.commercegate.com/index.php

Then search in the left panel a link that is says

Shop at CommerceGate.com

Click the link, then you got a search box,
type megaupload, and you will see supsciption options, after that select your subscription , and clic buy
they are gonna transfer you to a secure chek out, bacause of the ssl encription they got, i can not put a direct link.

The onlything i hate is that they got the old prices from megaupload, you can’t buy a lifetime membership for 199 dollars as megaupload offers with paypal.
Damn…., and the 1 year subscriptio cost

2 day premium membership: .99.
1 month premium membership: .99.
1 year premium membership: .99.

and megaupload have

2 weeks premium membership 1 month $ 9.99 one time
1 month premium membership 2 months $ 11.99 one time
6 months premium membership 1 year $ 49.99 one time
1 year premium membership 2 years $ 69.99 one time
Lifetime platinum membership $ 199.99

so thi is crap, i already sent an email to commergate, asking that and they said, i got to contact megaupload, i sent an email to magaupload, and they still do not fucking answer.

I hope , my words help.

Is it illegal to host a blog that has links to megaupload files with illegal music downloads?

I would not put the files on my hosting.
Users would post links at their own discretion. The site would not direct people to do it.
Megaupload would host all of the files.

Chosen Answer:

I’m not sure but what reason would they have for making it illegal? Having the links to it is something they can do just by googling it yet google is still really really popular. It’s not like your forcing anyone to download something. Even if it was illegal, the FBI wouldn’t come after you because they’d be going after the people who actually downloaded and uploaded it.
