Try buying your Dance music CD's instead of down loading from youtube for nothing.

Hi Guest,

As I said, somewhere above, I definitely prefer buying them on CD and never downloaded free.

However, some of the old songs are not available anywhere, except on questionable MP3 sites. This was confirmed by other readers of this topic.

Also, I am concerned about the law. So far, no one has commented with that regard. Please read my above comments before you condemn me. Thank you.

But I DID comment about the "law ". A high profile NYC distributor ( decarga.com ) would NOT be offering that service ,if it were not legal.

Hi Terence2,

Yes you did. Thanks. It is clear that the supplier you suggested is legit.

I did not express myself clearly. I was looking for a way to find out what some of these unusual, often foreign looking, websites are legitimate. I found one that had the song I wanted, offering it free in MP3, but I did not downloaded it because I was not sure if it was legal, and was worried about the possible virus threat.

In other words, my impression is that just because it is free it could be legitimate, as long as it is not used for commercial purposes. But I am not sure. If you could throw some light on this, I would much appreciate it.

The "free" part at descarga.com is "listening " .

As to actually downloading "free" songs, I would personally hesitate to do so. Being a DJ ( as well as teaching ),I like most DJs, frown upon the free concept..... reason ?.. musicians are never consulted or compensated,, and gain no reward for their efforts.

I'm NOT against "free" stuff, but as they say " there aint any free lunches " .

I would also say that, I think Jonathon is commendable for the access he gives to vids, with no cost .

Hi Terence2,

Jonathan is also doing a great service by providing this forum for experienced as well as beginner dancers alike. Dancing is a complex sport, or art, and exchanging ideas is very helpful.
