There are a bunch of illegitimate pay-downloading sites on the Internet. The premise is simple: the website promises oodles of movies, games, music to download if you pay a certain fee.
I was able to get into the member’s area of two of these sites without paying, to do a bit of recon [thanks MattZab]. Inside these sites you will find a bunch of links to resources that were already free to begin with, such as open-source software, free online radio sites, etc. No mention of the “Thousands of movies”, “Millions of MP3s”, “Applications” or any such downloads. At most some of these sites will have links to other torrent tracker sites.
There was also a phone number for customer service. So I decided to call it up!
