(1) SOME music on free sharing sites like Limewire are in the public domain. But those are very few in number.
(2) Some sites, like eMusic, allow a free trial period, where you can download a limited number of songs for free before you have to pay for a subscription.
But realize that most music is copyrighted. The owners of the copyright have an expectation to make their living off of the music. When you download, you steal their right to do so. Sometimes those artists or recording studios will provide free demos or promotional pieces, but even then your ability to transfer them is limited. Most of the time, it's simply illegal to do. What would your answer be if the question was "Is there any place in NYC where a person can legally take car stereos for free with absolutely no repercussions?" I'm sure there are some free car stereos available in NYC, but most of the time it would just be called stealing.

Downloading songs fro ma p2p (Pirate Bay, Limewire) isn't unlawful. it really is why it really is observed as SHARING. the in effortless words way you will get in criminal hassle is via importing songs or by appearing copyright infringement. Downloading songs from a bunch (celebration: Limewire) is an similar as procuring a clean CD and letting your buddy borrow it to get the songs.
