    no I suppose not, but surely it's the same as blue toothing a song to someone or taping the charts on radio one years ago like everyone used to do. I have an android phone and nearly all of the apps are free, I can get all of my music from them and it never mentions anything about copy right. :o am I a criminal?

    Certainly on iTunes, when you accept their Terms & Conditions there is a bit in there about copyright, so yes, you are probably breaking the law.

    I know a lot of people share files, I personally don't as I think it is wrong :o

    hmm maybe have to rethink it then, just thought as I'd brought them and someone else had brought them there would be no harm in swapping them.

    maybe we should just do recommendations for ones that we have listened to and enjoyed then.
    how about title, author and narrated by with a quick synopsis?

    ok so i'm not sure why I didn't carry this on so apologies.
    So my recent reads/listens.

    Just finished The hunger games trilogy by Suzanne Collins,
    read by Carolyn McCormick.
    synopsis: Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
    LOVED it, 1st 2 books were really good, wasn't too fussed in the last one, good narration as well.

    I shall update when I have finished my latest one "Gone Girl"
