Best Answer

This is a very tricky question. It depends on the website in question and whether not they have been authorized by the RIAA to do business. To put it simply, when a music site launches they are supposed to ask the RIAA if they can do business, then they purchase licenses or rights to make the songs available for purchase. A lifetime membership fee music download site would probably not make the RIAA very happy because say you pay $1 or $1,000, over the LIFE of the membership, the profit the RIAA and its labels make per song would probably be very, very, little.

Is downloading music from MyMusicInc.com illegal?

Downloading or uploading copyrighted material is ILLEGAL. Here is what they say on their own website. "Purchasing a membership in MyMusicInc.com does not give you license to download or upload copyright material." They put the burden on you to not download any copyrighted material. That means almost all current music out there will be illegal to download. So what is the purpose of the software if you are trying to not be a thief. The majority of the music you find will be illegal. There are plenty of legal downloads available. They are mostly unknown artist looking to make it. They allow the download of their music. www.mydownloads.com is one site to get free legal music. Some of it is great and some not so great. If you want to stay legal, either pay for downloads or download non copyrighted music.
