Downloading Music

OK,
I use to be download music from myspace, where they would allow you to
download from their page, but now when I download it it goes to Windows media
Player, and won't download it, but just play it and option to buy it???

Someone wants to share it, legitimate or not, I understand the copyrights
and not, buy why is Windows stopping me? Anyone with insight?

Because it's illegal to download copyrighted material without the permission
of the copyright owner?

Windows isn't stopping you. MySpace could of made a change on their side
which means Windows opens a Media Player, rather than offering it up as a
download.

Does Windows Media Player let you save it? (Right click on the menu bar at
the top -> File -> Save as).

No it does not let you save it either which way, I have to try it on my old
computer with XP to see if it is myspace, or Vista, but seems like Vista
because it doesnt make sense...so I dunno very bizarre
