Is downloading music from myspace legal, and can you put the songs that you download onto iTunes to sync to an iPod? Also, are there ever viruses that come with the downloaded music? I'd especially like to hear from people who have downloaded from myspace. Thank you!!!

You can download music from Myspace if the artist has allowed the song to be downloaded on Myspace. Many artists will not allow you to download a song if it is copyrighted and if they want to make money off of it.
All music that is available from Myspace is free of viruses and can be added to Itunes to be synced to your Ipod.

It's legal if it comes from the legitimate artist's page and the artist has enabled the "download" feature for his songs. It's not legal if some 12 year old kid created an artist fan page and put songs up for download.
There are potential viruses that can come with the songs, but it's VERY unlikely. I'm not sure if Myspace hosts the songs or if they are hosted elsewhere. In case of the latter, viruses would be a little more likely, but I'd still doubt it. People that spread viruses don't generally waste time attaching them to files as big as MP3s.
And you can put any MP3 song into iTunes, which you can then sync to your iPod.

It is only legal if it comes directly from the artists' page. The songs you download will go right into a folder as an mp3. I am not sure how you would get it to your iPod from there. So far I have not gotten any viruses from the songs I've downloaded.

i don't think myspace do that. unless the artist has this new account that makes artist be able to sell their music. i'm an artist, but i don't have it. i don't trust those guys. they'll misuse it.
