it's not legal here, but it's legal where they are located. They give a certain percentage of sales to the recording companies. Much much less than what itunes would give the companies but only hat the music is really worth.
I hate to say it but I could care less if people download music or buy it. The truth is, the artist hardly sees anything from cd sales anyways.
if I want to support a band, I'll go see a show. If I want music, I buy from mp3search.ru, the recording company still makes enough to pay for recording, marketing and a little profit. Then still have that half penny left over to give the musicians their cut of the cd sales.
I'm a bit bitter towards the music industry though. They rape musicians for everything they got, control their music and even go as far as shutting down avenues for band's self promotion forcing them to go to labels for financial and marketing help.
