The gang over at The Download Squad has compiled a handy list of 35 sites where you can download free, legal music without fear of subpoena from the RIAA. As they say:
In the interest of helping our readers stay out of jail and avoid massive fines, here are a bunch of places you can get tunes without fear of finding a summons in your mailbox. There’s plenty of good, free, and legal music on the net for you to download.
Sources range from the obvious (stereogum, garageband, and Spinner) to the more obscure (altsounds, honc, and 3hive). Of course, they failed to mention GLONO, who’ve been providing links to free, legal music since 2001!
Anything else you’d add to this list?
Dorks. Their title is “35 Places To Download Free, Legal MP3s – Sorry, RIAA!” Why should they apologize to the RIAA if the sites they’re linking to are legal?
Because the RIAA obviously takes great pleasure in hassling kids?
Or maybe because that title gets attention?
Who knows?
I think it’s because they’re dorks.
Probably
