slow. Please try again later.

| Q: |
Is all the music on Sideload.com legal to sideload or download? |
| A: |
Sideload.com does not store any music, but rather
links to files publicly available other places on the net. Sideload.com
respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the
same. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides
recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the
Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in
good faith that materials listed on Sideload.com infringe your copyright you
(or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be
removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following
information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized
to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly
infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been
infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered
by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c)
identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the
subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to
allow Sideload.com to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name,
address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the
complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good
faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not
authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement
that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of
perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the
owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in
good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by
Sideload.com against you, the DMCA permits you to send Sideload.com a
counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current
statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see
http://www.loc.gov/copyright/
for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be
sent to MP3tunes, Inc, 5960 Cornerstone Court West, Suite 100, San Diego,
