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.
Why is it illegal to download music when 1. You can get it for free from the Library 2. Listen to any radio station for free 3. or even watch them on YouTube?
It is illegal because when you watch them on YouTube or listen to them on the radio, you have not copied them to have in your possession. When you download music, it is taking the music without paying for it and without permission from the copyrighted source. You cannot take it if it has a copyright because the copyright basically shows that it belongs to them. When you download music, you are violating the copyright terms and stealing the music from them without permission. Downloading music and just listening to it on YouTube or on the radio differs because in one instance, you are stealing the music to have for yourself for who knows how long, while the other lets you listen to the music for the moment and leave it there, not taking it with you when you are done.
