People who frequent the web to look for quality download files in the form of MP3’s, picture images, videos and applications, would usually need them for their portable media devices such as their mobile phones or PDA’s. Such devices have become more of just being used for calls or scheduling appointments. They have become devices to hold entertainment software when people are found to be in the doldrums of boredom.
It is true that downloading such files legally has become a hard track to follow. However, for the people who are law abiding, shedding of minimal amounts in exchange for quality files are better than being tagged as a pirate or worst, being charged with piracy or copyright violations.
While these cannot be avoided, people simply want to get the best deal possible. Freebies are the best ones and music to their ears. However, it is just a matter of finding them patiently. They are all over the Internet and all it needs is a simple search query or referral from their friends and peers.
