\"\"In the current climate P2P and Bittorrent file sharing isnt seen as illegal in all countries, but overall it has to be the biggest threat on the music industry because of its nature.<\/p>\n

Songbeat<\/a> has launched a new version of their service which seems to be taking piracy to a new level.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a desktop app that lets users search for music on Seeqpod, Project Playlist, Last.fm and other sites, and then download the files and import them into iTunes or Windows Media Player, or burn them as a CD. It\u2019s free in its basic edition, which only allows 25 downloads, but users have to pay \u20ac19.99 for the premium version to download as much as they want.<\/p>\n

This has to be illegal! They are now a company that is profiting directly from piracy. Not according to Songbeat: \u201cThe downloading of music is not fundamentally illegal. However, it lies in the hands of the user to discern whether or not they have the right to download the particular music file at hand.\u201d Even Musically<\/a> thinks this\u2019ll end up in court.
