Young people today are listening to more music than ever before. Thanks to digital technology they can access it through the internet and download it onto their music player, or even through wireless networks straight to their mobile phone.

While this has huge advantages it also raises important security and legal issues. It can leave your children, as well as your home or school computer – and your personal details and accounts – vulnerable.

Childnet International, a leading charity that works to make the internet a safe place for children, has produced a new guide which provides useful tips for parents and teachers and aims to help them get to grips with the do's and don'ts of downloading music.

Scroll through the guide to ensure that the young people in your lives enjoy music and stay safe, secure and legal at home, at school and on the go.
