    How let the others listen at the samples?

    Hi folks,
    up to some months ago it was easy to ask help in identify a song. But now that myplay is over, how can it be possible to let the others listen at the samples? When just instrumental is veeery difficult, but even if the lyrics are not so clear, so to me most of the times :cry:
    What is your suggestions?
    Thanx

    It's illegal therefore it is not an option.

    How is it illeagal if it is a sample of a song? If you Allow nothing past 1000k Thats not illeagal, because people can't get a full song being only 1mb, not inless they make a mp3 that is the lowest quality.......

    Even a split second is illegal. Unauthorized duplication is just that; it doesn't matter if it's a whole album or two seconds.

    If that is the case, then taping off the T.V and radio is Illegal

    Technically, it used to be -- however, that was struck down under the "fair use" terms described in US copyright laws. Broadcasters are licensed to publically perform copyrighted works, and pay royalties on them. The same cannot be said for someone putting up MP3 samples.

    Masdefi,
    If you have a home page, you can post your samples there and then post a link of your home page to this forum so people hear can listen to the samples and give you the help you need.

    That's great. I have a home page under construction http://masdefi.8m.com but How to upload on a home page free? Or maybe the fastest way is to e-mail a short mp3 to anyone would like to help. :-?

    Samples up to 30 seconds (and not longer then 10% of the song) are legal.

    Thanks

    Oh, sorry - you're right - i looked it up in google. I wonder if it is legal to upload such sampled to my homepage (german provider) and to give the link to those samples to a US citizen. Because in Germany 30sec samples are legal in the US they aren't... (?) :roll:
    And if he downloads the sample: Am I the bad guy because I share it or is he because he downloads it?

    I think copyright law is very complicated :lol:
