DISQUS

I have a question, so all the music you are finding through Songbird - are they free mp3 downloads? or is that a legal issue of getting music that you didnt pay for?

Well it depends on how honest the owner of the MP3 blog is. I used to run an MP3 blog and record labels or artists would send me CD's and ask if I could post a few songs. In this case the band gave me clearance to post the tracks for marketing purposes and they were free to download. I would keep them up there for a year unless they asked me to take them down sooner.

Some folks aren't so honest and you will find a bunch of stuff that shouldn't be available. I would say that most MP3 blogs are pretty strict about what they post and if the MP3 link is available then the song can be downloaded without worry. if you see a big name band's songs then the odds are you shouldn't be downloading them. That's up to you though. :)
