So I have a portable hardrive with 125Gigs of music on it dating up to 2003. Got it off my dad's friend who helped with napster back in the day ..

A ridiculous amount of songs, about 25,000. So just wondering how I can get this passed onto people that may want it on here safely, meaning i would get it back haha .. anyone have any ideas? I mean I think I have trust in most people on here, but there is always that person on here that gets called out for fucking over someone.

Just trying to pass off some sick music that maybe one NS'r could have the HD for a week or so then pass it onto another ultimately getting back to me of course.

Not sure how i could make this work so help me out!

I'll work on getting a list of all the music on here .. haven't figured out how to do it yet, all the music is in the form of itunes and mp3. All taken from CD quality.

Think I may have figured out a way to do this.

Zilok.com is a renting site online, using this I may be able to gain the upper edge in the "renting" out of the item.

This way if the item isn't returned then I fuck your day up with lawyers and the government ..

.. haha i don't know if that is actually how it works .. anyone ever use this service before, or anyone that understands anything about how it would work?

idk just looking to hook you guys up, still working on getting a list of all the stuff.

I don't know, all the music has been paid for at sometime, it is the same idea as me passing the CD onto someone else.

Sounds like a lot of work to rip off music that people should be paying for anyway.

im not trying to be a 'save the music industry' prick here, but this still seems shifty. lending someone a cd you bought is fine, letting them copy it is technically illegal.
now, i dont really care, i download and share; files, movies songs etc as much as anyone, but as soon as you put it on the web, especially if you rent it out for money like someone suggested, you are looking at serious copyright infringement. furthermore, the fact that you would be profiting from it would send you even further up shit creek if you were to be caught.

if you can find a way around it though, let me know, cos im always up for music. after all, music is happiness.

the whole renting idea would be the person receiving the HD paying for the shipping of it getting from my place to their place, not looking to make money, just help you guys get some music.

i'm thinking of just paypaling it. have you guys transfer funds to me for me to ship it to you and then you paying for it to come back, for all i know is you guys are just sampling the music to see if you like someones music.

thanks wehlan, you are being politically correct and im glad ur lookin out for the industry.

another way you could do it (if you could be bothered to wait!), would be to upload it all to something like DC++ or some file sharing network, that way you dont run the risk of losing the HD, and there is less chance of you getting dicked on by metallica's drummer because no money will change hands.

just hardwire it to your cars headunit, that way you can just put it on shuffle and never have to listen to the same song twice for the rest of your life!
