What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York

Hello,

I received an email from an acquaintance that fixes computers and was offered music at a discounted rate. Is this legal or should I be wary?

Below is a portion of the email that I received.

I have a ton of music and there is nothing I cannot get and if you love iTunes and want music, I would be willing to get you anything you want and then set it up for you. I would do the music free of charge whereas I charge $.75 per song...

Thanks

Be very wary.

Wow - that sounds a lot like the line the guy used who was selling DVD's in the supermarket parking lot...

Thanks Steve.

So basically he is obtaining the music from one of those free sites and reselling through remote access to peoples computers?

Or try Business Software Alliance - The Business Software Alliance

BSA won't do anything about music, they're software. It's the RIAA that does music.
