Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / April 2006Free Ringtones - where?
Ok, I realize I'm probably the last to know but just where *are* those free ringtones and graphics for the LG VX6000? Every web site I find says "free" until you go to download them then it's $0.99 or $1.00 for 10 or some such pricing scheme. I'm not against free enterprise but I really would like to find those freebies.... Thanks for any links.

If the ringtone is of a copyrighted work (eg songs, TV theme tunes etc) then royalties are actually owed to the composer. Those sites are ensuring that happens, as well as covering their own expenses etc. (I have heard that using less than 10 seconds of a copyrighted work is ok, but can't confirm this).

Every web site I find [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >(I have heard that using less than 10 seconds of a copyrighted work >is ok, but can't confirm this). There's no rule or law saying that a certain amount of infringement is OK. An individual might be able to claim fair use if they copied music from a CD they already own, but selling it would be a different story. I suspect that not everyone who sells ringtones actually pays royalties. == Jack Hamilton jfh@acm.org == In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted comfort and security.

Every web site I find [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > == > Jack Hamilton I am a musician of 30 years and have strong feelings about getting paid for my work but that's not my point nor my question. And so I must return to my original question and my point which is....if you pay money....any money for something it is NOT free. So, I can only conclude from my experience that there ARE no free ringtones that I have found.

That doesn't mean that there are no free ringtones that someone else can find. I had a hard time finding free ringtones for the VX4400. I eventually found some through HowardForums, but the one I ended up using (a plain ring) is my conversion of one of the Windows system WAV files, converted with dbPowerAMP and installed with bitPim though the Mobile Office cable. All that's free except for the cable (I think that the Windows WAV is probably covered by fair use, since I have a Windows license). You might want to look at "How to put mp3 rintones on your LG VX6000 for dummies!" <http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=246000>. Another thread, "*noob* how do i load ringtone to my phone" <http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=326248> says that you can send a ringtone to a VX6000 via email. Somewhere on howardforums I found a pointer to a ZIP file containing a bunch of free ringtones. There's a lot of information in there, but it takes patience to find it. == Jack Hamilton jfh@acm.org == In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted comfort and security.

What is dbPowerAMP, is it free, and where can I get it? 3. Bill's lawyers might disagree.

"There's no stopping the future." - Yogi Berra Hey everyone! Just found a new web site w/free ringtones and wallpapers. http://www.mvp-hosting.net/cell/index.php I have the lg vx6000 which is a camera phone and all i did was downloaded the file to my computer and e-mailed it to my10digitphonenumber@vwzpix.com and either saved the message on ur phone as a pix for a wallpaper and a sound for a ringtone. Hope this helps and everyone can get them whether they have a camera phone or not! :) > >And so I must return to my original question and my point which > >is....if you pay money....any money for something it is NOT free.
