    Recently I saw this myipodownloads.com that claims "Unlimited free Movie, Music, Tv Shows, Comedy Shows, Music Videos" for your ipod with one time fee. I'm just wondering if anyone use this service. BTW i am specifically addressing www.myipodownloads.com because not other websites that offer similar services. I know about the high possibility of scams with websites such as this because it sounds too good to be true.

    My bet is it's a scam, I could be wrong but I highly doubt that. You can't pay for all that licensing with a one time fee.

    I'm quoting from the site:

    "This site is not affiliated with Apple Inc./iTunes in any way, nor does Apple Inc./iTunes sponsor or approve any Myipodownloads.com products."

    "WE DO NOT ENDORSE COPYING OR SHARING COPY WRITTEN MATERIAL! THE PURCHASE OF A MEMBERSHIP IS NOT A LICENSE TO DOWNLOAD COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL!"

    "MyiPodownloads.com does not condone piracy or breaking copyright laws. The MP3 sharing tools available on through our members area are powerful search tools & we recommend that you use your discretion when downloading music and movie files."

    Now do you think this is legit? I don't think so.

    Almost definitely one of those things where they are trying to make money by selling you some sort of p2p client..... the actual "content" you are most likely getting is the same stuff you'd find on various torrent sites, etc. I wouldn't trust them with my credit card.

    This is clearly a scam and now it is time for the thread to die.
