Is the website beemp3.com a legal and morally right way to download free music? idk. Please help, ive used it before
 
It is likely a great majority of the content offered on that site is done so without the copyright holder’s permission. A lot of those MP3’s seem like they’ve been ripped from YouTube videos, which are also often uploaded without the copyright holder’s permission. The site is hosted in the country of Belarus, so it’s likely the owners of the site are dodging copyright laws. This site seems to make revenue from advertising, and by no other means.

You’re getting something for nothing at this service. While at legitimate services make you pay to download content, because the service must pay a royalty to the copyright owner, while incurring the normal expenses associated with running a business.

Deciding whether or not downloading music without paying the creators of the music is morally wrong usually ends up being a tricky topic of debate. In my personal opinion, I would err to the side of caution and consider this tantamount to receiving stolen property.

It is a question of if you want to teach your kids to follow all the laws, or just the ones that are convenient…

When my kids were small (probably 6,8, and 10), I went to a big box store to purchase a camera memory card…a pretty big one that cost about $80 at the time (memory was expensive then). I put the memory card in my card first, because that was the primary thing I was shopping for. Then I went to find other things on my list, including a storage bin. When I got to the checkout, I started to unload my cart. When I got to the bin, the cashier told me to leave it in the cart. So I did. I paid for my items and went to my car. As I am unloading my cart, I put the bin in my car and THEN I saw the memory card that I had first put in my cart…unpaid for.

I had 2 choices…take the memory card and go home, or take the memory card back to the store with my receipt, explain what had happened, and pay for it. I went to the same cashier. She was surprised I had returned with it. She asked me why I just did not keep it and go. I looked at my boys, then at her, and asked her what kind of example that would be for my children, whom I hoped would always strive to make the right choices and do the right thing.

So, Earnest, you can strive to do the right thing, or you can steal. Your choice.
 
Is it sinful to download a song free if the artist wouldn’t make profit from it anyway?
 
Haha phineas and Ferb love it! Everyone, that was a joke and a tv show 🙂 😉
