Yes, it's legal. I wouldn't do it otherwise. I feel pretty strongly about supporting the artists I like. It's a subscription service, so I pay $9.99 a month to be able to DL 40 tracks. The rates have changed, but I locked into the $9.99 rate by switching to paying yearly instead of month by month. Now if you join, I think you can get 30 per month for $9.99. Plus a bonus free 50 DL's, no strings attached just for trying it out. It's a great service: high quality MP3's (highest bitrate of all MP3 services like Napster or iTunes, etc.), great ways of discovering new music, and no DRM crap! And once you DL something, you can DL it again an unlimited amount of times (like if your HD dies or your computer is stolen, etc.).
I apologize for sounding like a fucking commercial, but I really dig it. It's how I manage to get any music these days, and they're always getting new stuff.
Check it out.
@Sadguru: All I've heard is the track you offered me! I love it btw. But, sadly, not on eMusic....yet. The single is, oddly. And I have to say that ATFW is sooooo good. Been listening to that a lot lately. 34.788% is interesting, certainly a departure. Not bad, but my least favorite thus far I think. Though, Iliked it more the 3rd time I listened, so maybe it's a grower...
