One of my co-workers downloaded and paid for this service. I didn't ask him much about it as I thought I could learn more from visiting the site. No such luck. I figured it was one of these pay to use Kazaa scams. But now I think it is more than that. I am not promoting this I am curious to learn more about it. As I say it has to be illegal. They are careful to not let you see the content and you sign your life away if you join. heres a snip from the agreement:

"You agree that you will not transmit or access any data that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party. By accessing the members area, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless mp3advance.com from their claims if you break any copyright laws."

Say waht? Me thinks i smells a rat! I just feel bad if my coworker got ripped off. But, I told him that is what I think happened.

If you put in a fake email adddy and nick you can see the costing. Which is waaaaay too low.

Here is the link to the main page.

You may be able to see this page without signing in. Although it is instantly redirected upon entering bogus info.

I will ask him more questions tomorrow.

It looks like another good way to pay for the privilege of receiving spam and a free program. I'm always interested in finding out what exactly it is that these sites sell, but not interested enough to join. What do you mean by "now I think it is more than that"?

They use the same picture of the girl with the headphones that you see on the k-lite.tk site.

The 5 dollar option for DVD quality movies

I finally got a chance to talk to that co-worker. He said that the browser works just like any P2P except you cannot upload! He said if you click on "About" that it says it is not a file sharing program. He said that it works just like WinMX which used to be what he used but this is called Safe-Share. I asked if he thought he was on a P2P network ie were there names like defaultuser@kazaa etc. He said he didn't know, it was all names and numbers. Then I asked, (he has DSL) was the download speed always fast or does it vary. He said it varies, so sometimes he can get a track in a minute, other times it could take 15. Also he is often in a queue. So I will surmise that he has paid for a leech type browser. Then he said, that when he clicks on one of the menu items that they claim to be the equivelent of "google". Interesting but, inaccurate I would say. I will go to his house one day next week and take a closer look at this proggy.

Aside from the illegitimate, illiterate, and idiotic reply above, I'd have to say that as a newbie to the world of mp3's and downloads, I paid for (most unfortunately) the safe-share two year "free download" engine and I just wasted my money. After numerous trials getting it to search, then to download anything, I find that it:
A.) Will find some songs, not cd's, and most or all have no "users", so are not available.
B.) Will queue most of what you pick or show "registering" as the status
C.) May not download all of a song; they say it's lack of available users, when I've even had over 1000 users showing...
D.) Quit searching...now I can't even find anything: the search engine quit.
E.) The big one...no support, no links, no helpscreens, no contact links, no MONEY BACK!!!
This is a total ripoff of your money as I see it and hard to use when it even works as badly as it does.
So now my search begins for a legitimate site for my lil' mp3 necklace decoration for economical downloads of music for it.

This thread is over 2 years old.

I didn't notice that, Jay, but these people are still out there ripping people off, aren't they?
