Is Downloading Music Legal?

Is Downloading Music Legal?
The answer is yes and no. To explain this simpler, there are both legal and illegal ways to get music. The legal ways would include just using MP3 since it is just a file format.File sharing can also be legal to a certain extent without violating copyright laws. What is illegal is using websites like Napster or Limeware.(which don't exist anymore, but there are derivitive websites like it)Just be wary of these circumstances and if something looks too good to be true then it probably is. If you decide to use the illegal way, there are many fines and penalties that come with it. You may think that your being clever, but in the end your just getting yourself into trouble.Some of the fines can be anywhere from thousands of dollars to over half a million.
