Actually no, in the RIAA's mind this is piracy. "Making unauthorized copies of copyrighted music recordings is against the law and may subject you to civil and criminal liability. " Cite: [www.riaa.com]

Well neither is your free bus ride, since many city buses have ad space in and on the bus.

Since I see we have a differing definition of "piracy" maybe MC Hart can explain it better than I can. [www.youtube.com]

No you're not free to share, burn, or do whatever you want with it. You're free to listen to it on approved devices. At times this means you can burn a disc, but it never means you can share the digital file. When you download something given for free, it's legal. SHould you choose to redistribute that in a way…

"If it was free, it would be MP3s that I could download, ...share with others via email or dropbox. "

I feel as though you're overestimating the demographics this is for. Also, my point would be that an experienced guide on your builds would have easily spared @phiyuku some aggravation. Lastly, yes, as a Lifehacker Reader, there are many computer problems that challenge me everyday. Thankfully it's my job to figure…

Can I just say that as easy as building a PC from scratch can be, and as informative and detailed as this and other article are (thank you to Whitson!) it is definitely a good idea to have someone with experience with you on your first build.

I'd love something like this for Windows/Chrome. I realize I can block ads, but that doesn't seem like playing fair. They deserve their money, I just want to turn the ads down, not off.

+1. That is the response right there. Simple open honest and responsibility.

Also you can text the money to their phone, which, if it is a "friend" you would already have. I do it a lot.
