Legal Music Downloads!

Whether or not music file sharing programs are legal, the actual act of sharing the file is NOT legal.

Record companies are proving this to be true in the courts every day, suing average people for downloading music.

Bottom line, if you join a file sharing program and download an Mp3 song, even though you paid to be part of the sharing network, you did not pay for the actual music you are enjoying and the artist does not receive one single penny for it.

Even if you did buy the CD, you do not have the right to make a copy of it (or create an Mp3 of it) for the purpose of giving it away to someone else through a file sharing network.

There is however, a way to download your music legally without having to buy a physical CD. You still get the benefit of only paying for the songs you want for a fraction of the cost.

We only feature legitimate websites that have legal contracts with artists and record companies. These sites offer direct downloads from a compilation of music online.

We only feature what we consider legitimate mp3 and music download sites. If you are downloading a program that is not legal, you are taking part in illegal file sharing. The following is almost a complete list, but we reserve the right to be corrected if we’ve missed a legitimate site.

Please email us if you know of a site that you know is legal but was missed: eMusic.com, iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon and iTunes.

Each legal music download site has agreements with record companies in various countries.  You may find a legal site online, but it may not be available to you.  For example, Rhapsody Music and Amazon Mp3 only offer downloads to US Residents. 

How can you tell whether a site is legal or not?  Paying a fee for your mp3 downloads does not mean they are legal - learn more!
