Following my recent question about ‘cheap’ music download sites, some say (or suggest) that downloads are free for the the above sites!

Surely this is illegal!

Can someone please set me straight on this?

Pardon my ignorance !

   If the music is copyrighted, no.

   And there is no way to find out if it is or not.

   So your best bet would be to not download them at all.

   Yes they are free, and yes it is ‘technically’ illegal to download music from P2P programs such as those.
