Download
From The IT Law Wiki
Downloading is the transmission of a digital file over the Internet from a server computer, which hosts the file, to a client computer, which receives a copy of the file during the download. To begin the downloading process, the client establishes a connection to the server, which transmits the file over the Internet to the client, where the file is saved — generally stored on the client’s hard drive — for future use. Once saved, the file can be audibly played by the client and copied to various portable devices.
Providers sometimes attach conditions to the download and playback of a sound recording, such as the maintenance of a current subscription to the provider or a limitation of the number of times the audio file may be reproduced.
