Yes its legal to use. Its owned by AOL. I use it all the time. Its simply a search engine for finding music and video. You can practically do the same thing on a google, yahoo, or altavista.com search engine, except Singingfish makes it easier to find direct links to media files, whether it be full-length mp3's files, 30-second song samples, or full-length streaming song content. Its not responsible for what it finds, you just have to use your own discretion and decide what links it discovers come from legal sources and which ones do not.
A lot of the search results it pulls up are from legal websites (aol music, amazon, official band websites, juno.co.uk etc..) but some are from random people's websites who probably don't have a copyright license. So some of the links it digs up are not legal to download, such as full-length copyrighted songs on someones open directory. Realistically though, its the legal burden of the person providing those files on their website not so much you the downloader who found it in a search result

no. most of the time, if you dont have to pay anything for the music you get it means that it's illegal.
