downloading of songs is not free for copyright-protected songs.
So they can sell it like they sell compact discs.
Some artist give "away" free songs from time to time, to gain more publicity, mostly bands that have just started or sometimes as a promotional action for the launch of a new cd/dvd/... etc.
You can check the websites of your favourite bands or record labels to find out whether they offer free downloads also.

Peer to Peer networks earn money by bundling spyware and adware along with their software. The company that is advertising in the adware and spyware pays them to include it in the installation of the P2P software. A lot of P2Ps also offer a PRO version of their software that costs around $30 a month and doesn't have the bundling software.

that is why they say you steal when you download songs, the only way the band gets paid is if you go to their concerts or buy the cd
