FREE MUSIC
Every culture has always produced music, it seems that it is human nature to sing and play. The Internet, being an expression of human culture, is rich in references to music, in every sense. Trade is also part of human nature, and with trade economic interests. On the internet and in the real world music is sold, alas, at a high price.
These are some of the reasons that gave rise to the discussed and questionable phenomenon of P2P (peer to peer, the exchange of files via direct connection of two or more PCs). Personally I think that if producing music costs effort and work, as well as pleasure and satisfaction, if the product is for sale, if you want it you have to pay, that then the prices are high I agree, but downloading files without paying them is illegal and means stealing!!!
One thing that little is known is another very interesting and curious phenomenon:
there are thousands of artists who for various reasons give their music, either for the pleasure of doing it, or for the hope of becoming famous, but the essence is that downloading their files is FREE and LAWFUL!!!
Many other songs then are freely downloadable due to the fact that their rights have expired.
It is an interesting way to meet new and often very good authors, new music certainly never heard by the majority of the public, a new world to explore through the musical genres of all time!!!
Here are some links of sites from which to download free music!!
