∙ 12y ago"Copyright-free" music is in the public domain because protection has expired, or because it was never protected to begin with (a recording of the Marine Band playing Mozart, for example, would have no copyright).
"Royalty-free" music gives a broad license with a single fee, similar to stock photos. Many websites offer royalty-free bed music for advertising, for example.
Music by independent bands and artists is increasingly distributed with a Creative Commons license. While not strictly copyright-free, a CC license allows further distribution and often permission to remix or adapt as well.

Do free music sites violate Music Copyright Law?
This is a very contentious issue and depends on the country the music is stored in, the country it is being downloaded in, the relationship the site has with the copyright owners and whether or not a copyright even exists on the music. In many countries it is illegal to host and download copyrighted music to/from the internet without permission from the copyright owner. With permission, a site may be allowed to do so. Napster's original incarnation was shut down for making music downloadable for free without permission from the copyright owners. One way around copyright laws is by downloading music that has been released into the public domain under licenses such as the Creative Commons attribution-non commercial share-alike license which allows the music to be freely copied and manipulated so long as the original author is credited and that it is distributed under the same license.
