why are all the albums from rapidshare/rapidlibrary password protected .rar or .zip files? You go to click a song and the password thing pops up.

Private sites, that you must be a member to.

and I think its a way for people to host shit that would normally would be taken down.

I would steer clear of password protected .rar files, they often involve trouble.

I use [demonoid.com](http://demonoid.com) for most. If you want pretty much any song imaginable then use Soulseek. You will need to forward your ports as you would with a torrent client with soulseek. It takes a little tampering with and some patience but you can find pretty much any song on Soulseek and it’s not filled with viruses like limewire.
