MPFree Revolutionizes Industry through Free, Legal, and Secure Music Downloads

(Syndicated News) Every day, millions of individuals download music onto their personal computers. Sometimes the downloads occur illegally, have membership fees, or are purchased on a trial basis. Whatever the situation, purchasing music online has proven to be anything less than consistent.

“There are a number of big music sites out there,” states Phil Nadel, president of MPFree.com. “All of the legal ones require customers to pay a membership fee or a song-by-song download fee.”

MPFree offers free music downloads to individuals that take advantage of offers from advertisers. Downloads are rewarded on a registration basis — the more offers they agree to, the more downloads they earn. Participants also earn free downloads by referring friends. The idea is revolutionary to an industry known for pushing legal boundaries and charging expensive download fees.

“The most popular site is definitely iTunes,” says Nadel. “However, they charge 99 cents per song. MPFree offers customers the same songs for free. We're the only site out there which offers a free service compliant with all laws.”

Shareware Web sites came into deep public scrutiny following the music copyright debates in the late 1990s. Shareware works on a peer-to-peer basis; members download songs from other individual's computers and, in the process, break copyright laws developed to protect musicians. It's a practice which brings heavy legal consequences to the individuals involved. MPFree's music collection is entirely paid for through advertising, not the listener.

According to Nadel, MPFree's entire 750,000 song library includes only original performances by the original artists.

“We don't believe in compromising when it comes to authenticity. Music fans want their music to be top quality, and second-rate reproductions are not top quality.
