as far as i know downloading anything which you are not paying for without the authors permission is stilling... itunes and napster are the most know legal sites.

Unlimiteddownloads.com is probably actually free, but it is illegal to download copywrited music/movies/etc, without express permission from the copyright owner. The way that these sites, which offer free downloads, work is they are a P2P(person to person) service which is not illegal. That is how they are able to claim that the service is legal (which it is) but downloading music(as stated above) without permission from the copyright holder, is illegal.

Actually yes AND no. Downloading copyrighted songs from Limewire IS illegal, however, downloading songs that your neighbor recorded in his garage or local bands that don't care if you have their songs is NOT. That also goes the same for movies, pictures etc.

none, but you are breaking the law.\n\nif you want quality music for cheap (10-15 cents a song) without breaking the law, without downloading fake songs, and without risking viruses, go to www.allofmp3.com

The site is legal, users who download copyrighted material are acting ILLEGALLY (as if we give a fcuk, lol).\n\nYou can download music, videos, programs, documents... basically snything that it's millions of users choose to share. \n\nas with any p2p network, you can download infected files, especially if you don't know your stuff ( eg: you should know that a 4 minute MP3 @ 128kps is not going to be 281kb in size), so don't use it without frequently updated virus protection

So to repeat the obvious, if its legal, it means you need to pay.\n\nThis always astonishes me, it's like the rest of the world nows something and nobody wants to tell the USA. I strongly recommend www.allofmp3.com for the following reasons:\n\n- The downloads are DRM free\n- The downloads can be CD quality, or if you prefer smaller and cheaper, right down the quality scale to the equivalent of say itunes, but still DRM free.\n- You can use paypal to buy credit, so no need to give your credit card to another site\n- Once you buy, you can download the song again for free, unlike say itunes.\n- It's great value, download a full CD set of songs at CD quality for about $3, or about $1 total for about itunes quality.\n- Huge collection of older titles and European titles, that don't exist typically on the other download sites.

Limewire is legal.  Downloading the music, that is the illegal part.

if you own the original cd or have an original right (from itunes and the likes) it is no piracy to have them as an mp3 in your mp3 player. In short, if at one given time you paid for it (or got is as a gift), its ok. however Don't sell or share them, because that is an infringement on the copyright.

Yes, both are true, it is legal as well as illegal, legal on the sense that, it is filesharing and filesharing is not a crime, illegal on the sense that, you are sharing the stuff which are you not supposed to share.\nThe best way is to keep all the downloaded stuff to another destination other than your shared folder, cuz when YOU give some content, then YOU are violating the law, but when you are downloading it, you are not violating the law, cuz stuffs like music can be given but not shared. Confused right???\nDont worry, just remember that keep all your downloaded stuff away from the shared folder, so that others canot take it.\nCHEERS!!!

The stirctest answer is no, it is not legal because you are downloading music or files from other people's hard drive who have purchased it and are sharing it.  That's the problem while you CAN get in legal trouble by downloading stuff this way, chances are the person sharing the files is going to get in trouble, if they are ever caught.\n\nIf you want to stay safe, you can download files relatively safely without getting caught, it's the sharing that gets you in the most trouble.\n\nI would say it lies in a grey area and there is no definitive answer.  If you want my opinion, no it is not really legal but there is nothing in place to really stop it.

P2P software may be "legal" but most of the music distributed by such software is not legal.\n\nPlus there are the viruses transmitted by these programs, the poor quality of the tracks, and sometimes never being able to get a copy of the songs you're interested in.\n\nTwo years ago I discovered subscription music services which let you get almost any song you want and listen to it for as little as $5 a month.  I deleted all my downloaded tunes and went completely legit because it was so much better.  For as little as $10 a month, you can load up a portable player with thousands of songs (less than a penny a song a month) without buying them.  But you can buy tracks at discounted price too if you want.\n\nCheck out Yahoo Music Unlimited, Rhapsody, or Napster.
