I hope this helps
Ps. Artists have already been paid for the album, before it's release online. The artist has made the money regardless of download numbers. The price you pay is for:
Copyright protection
Site running cost
Convenience
Site profit

You can legally download mp3s from the Live Music Archive.

These sites are Russian and apparently the legal guidelines are different. My guess about the artists receiving any money is a big "NO".
