When the cost of music in sites like Hungama.com are just Re 1 per song, there is no reason for consumers to download from pirated sites like songs.pk. This is a welcome move.

Songs.pk is one of the most popular site used by almost everyone online for Downloading latest music. I strongly believe that banning such a site is not a good move. Instead we must look for some alternate methods like Ad Revenue Sharing where everyone is in a win-win situation be it the music companies, the songs.pk website or the users.

Let internet be free and accessible to all.
