Well, just ask your favourite artist (or fartist for short) whether she's OK with sharing the stuff:

Dear Pantherseyes

Everything the scam site told you were lies, that means everything you thought you were downloading legally you were downloading illegally.

You would be better off just trying to get your money back rather than trying to rescue anything beneficial from the site you purchased your “free” copy of LW from. After all, these scam sites (and there are well over a hundred of them) were specifically designed to part the gullible from their money.

Next time, be more careful (less eager).

I got scammed @ www.musicdownloads.com - get this, it was a feature on the Today show. So $19.95 (us) later here I am...

The same site got me yesterday. But as soon as i saw that i was downloading Limewire, I called amex and cancelled the payment right away. That was my first internet scam. It was so easy to get you. They make it sound like your downloading a legit new music service. They even have the nerve to send you a thank you email for your purchase. I will never click on cnet.com sponser links again. I wonder if they now about this scam link on their site.

Beware of www.suprnova.net
The former bit-torrent server seems to have gotten my $34.95 as well. Don't I feel stupid. I will try and get my money back as well.

Hmmm,
Surely your card company will withdraw this payment as the transaction was an act of fraud.

This is my recipie for buying on line services.
Try before you buy and if they don't offer a try then don't buy.
The majority of reputable companies believe in their products and have no problem offering a free trial period.
Remember: Never waiver from this path and not only will you avoid being conned you will also help to make all providers offer free trials.

been had by the same scam...this is a copy of their justification directly pasted from their website:

I thought these programs were free, why am I asked to pay for them?
The software is free.
