iTunes, Napster, or Music Match.  All fast reliable and legal.  All music is at some level copy written material.  The band saying it is free doesn't make it so.  They have to jump thru a lot of hoops to give up all their rights so always take care getting music "for free".

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it originated with the Rolling Stones as they described their backstage parties for an interview of somesort. The saying has pretty much been adopted by every rock group and wannabe rocker eversince as a way of answering why they're in the music buisness.

They pay their royalties on a monthly basis.  One week out of the year, they keep a log of what they play and who wrote it.  The publishing companies use this information to calculate payment for the song writers.  \n\nWhen I worked in radio, we subscribed to BMI and ASCAP. We paid around $1,000-$2,000 per month to each service to play their artists.
