Knowing the right places to download free music is a major key to avoiding a law suite. Thanks to the tough lesson we learnt from Jammie Thomas, the now famous thirty something year old lady that was brutally attacked by a RIA (Recording Industry Association of America) law suite, it now makes sense to legally download music for free online. For the simple reason of avoiding a costly law suite.

Due to rise of illegal free music sites like Kazaa and Limewire, it’s pretty easy for many people to download music for free online. This is something that many people have done at one point in their lives, but have never seen it to be a big deal since everyone else used to do it all the time. That was until the music industry decided to sue people who illegally download music for free online.

I personally don’t think it was the right way for the Recording Industry Association of America to deal with people because sueing individuals that are interested in their product doesn’t make much sense. It would have made sense to continue letting people download music for free online, then create a new business model that can thrive in that environment, instead of suing potential potential clients who might have actually created a new revenue stream for the major lables.

Either way, the music industry decided to wage war on the people downloading music from certain music sites, so it now makes sense for us to know where to legally download music for free online.
