I am constantly asked if it's legal to download songs
found on various non-commercial sites, such as this one.
Well, I'm neither a lawyer nor a technician,
and I've begun to wonder if it was legal for
us to tape music off the radio back when
tape recorders first came into being.
And were we committing a crime when we recorded
a movie shown on TV with our VCRs? And was it
really legal to buy a dual-deck recorder for the
express purpose of duplicating cassettes?
My answer to all of the above is, "I don't know."
Nonetheless, here is a formal statement in
some kind of legalize that appears to apply
to this kind of file availability:
The songs on this site are
