So Blueblaster started the gamer tag thread and I saw someone add their Last.fm profile in there. So I went and found my link (http://www.last.fm/user/natenkiki2004) copied it and pasted it in the thread. Now I usually have Remote Desktop Connection open and I have JDownloader on my server. JDownloader scans your clipboard for any URL's and tries to download content from that site. I knew it worked with Rapidshare and YouTube and tons of others but I was surprised to see what it did after copying my Last.fm profile:

I could have downloaded all of those songs for free if I didn't already have them. Quite interesting... This appears to be legal since you can listen to the music on their site. This must be an epic legal battle waiting to happen.

Wa wa wee wa! +1

Loophole! SCORE!

BTW, JDownloader is in the Must-Have sticky and it is cross-platform and free :)

I sense a lawsuit coming. That is if they even find out about it. :D

You can do almost the same thing on sites like Imeem, Project Playlist and several others. I don't know why they don't use encryption. I guess they're betting the average person doesn't know how to do this, though.

I saw that and thought: I listened to all of those songs on shuffle last night..?

Huh... didn't I read something about not posting stuff to illegal music downloads in the TOS when registering?
JW.
Pretty cool though.

Jimbo, you can freely go to last.fm and listen to songs via their web-player. When using the internet you have to download content to see it or in this case hear it. If you're listening to the songs on last.fm this is no different. It's just another way of downloading what they have on their site in a format that you can keep. If anything IS illegal about it, it's their problem, not their users' problem :)
