    I know that downloading mp3 from website is illegal, but what if your site only allows you to listen to a song? it doesnt let you download it. Are you allowed to do that?

    No if you are using someone elses copyrighted music you cant have it playing on your site. 99.9999999% of the time it wont matter unless your site is big or music related.

    What if you credit each mp3 song that you can listen to a site where you can buy that album cd.

    i think you are allowed to play 30 sec (or a certain percentage), there is a law on it, i did research on it for school a while ago

    This is what I heard about too.. you can only place sample slips (like how amazon and buy.com does it). If you play the full track you'll need to pay royalties.

    So why is there so many sites that don't follow music copyright laws?

    They're taking a huge risk releasing illegal music.. but also it might be because they're from some forgein country with less strict laws? They still can be caught though..

    And of course they want to make money off advertising this way..

    several reasons, some countries dont have laws against it and therefore they can host them..or they just don't care to get caught :/

    there are many websites that let you download/watch movies and tv shows, but that does not mean that they are legal.
