Feds Crack Down on Deceptive Web Site Cited in CDT Complaint - The Federal Trade Commission is seeking to permanently prevent the Web site 'MP3DownloadCity.com' from making the claim that the services it offers are "100 percent legal." The FTC announced today that it had filed a complaint and obtained an injunction against the Web site, which sells a tutorial that teaches consumers how to download free song-swapping software offered through third parties like Kazaa, and was cited in a complaint CDT filed with the FTC in March. CDT pointed out that the claims of legality could dupe consumers into falsely believing that they were paying for the right to download as much copyrighted material as they wanted from services like Kazaa. The FTC acknowledged CDT's assistance in the case. October 19, 2005
