A program or works distributed without copyright is known to be in the public domain.The US government by law releases several items in the public domain such as census data.
Each program has its own copyright information.
Assuming that it qualifies for protection, copyright applies as soon as the program is finished and the file is saved.
In freeware, the creator retains copyright; he is merely choosing not to charge for the use of his program.
Frost wire is a program you download to your pc to allow you to download music and other files, a site would be mp3skull for an example. If the song you are downloading has an active copyright then yes it illegal to download without some form of payment to the holder of that right. It doesn't matter where you get it. But if you are downloading an item that the copyright has expired on then it is legal.

The End User Licensing Agreement specifies how copyright law applies to a program.
In some cases a software author will decide to make his/her program available to the public at no charge. This is usually termed "freeware" and although free is still protected by copyright. It cannot be duplicated, redistributed, or modified, for anything other than personal use, without permission.
Copyright infringement in general is copying, altering, or distributing protected material without the permission of the copyright holder. If you have a software license to put a program on one computer and you put it on two, you have infringed the copyright. More details can be found in the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) of the program.

Yes. (However that does not mean you have to pay for it).I attach a link below to explain.The open source uses a "copyleft" copyright licence - The GPL grants the recipients of a computer program the Free Software Definition rights and uses copyleft to ensure the freedoms are preserved whenever the work is distributed, even when the work is changed or added to.
