«Bob Lefsetz, who writes an influential newsletter for the music industry, constantly comments on the changes in music and the way fans are able to dig out music on their own through sites such as DontBurnThePig.org, a clearinghouse for Dave Matthews Band news and music.

"I found a cornucopia of MP3s, available via Sendspace. That's how we get our music these days. SendSpace. Or RapidShare. Or YouSendIt. The bigwigs probably have no idea what I'm talking about, they're too focused on (illegal file-sharing sites such as LimeWire or PirateBay). This is DIRECT DOWNLOADING!" Lefsetz said.

These sites let users upload files up to 100 megabytes, usually for free. They can pay more for increased capacity. It's a convenient way to send large files, especially video. But it makes piracy easy, and investigators believe it's a preferred method for moving other illegal materials such as child pornography»
