What happens if I download a song that has a license?

I wanted to know what would happen if I downloaded a song that has a license. Is it legal to download a song that has a license in limewire?


What would happen if I download the song?


Is this the legal way? Do i have to pay for the song?

What happens if I download a song that has a license?
If you download music under a Copyright license without paying for it, it is definitely ILLEGAL. However, there are artists that don't like the restrictiveness of the Copyright license and choose to release their music under a Creative Commons license, allowing people to download and share for free.





To learn more about the Creative Commons licenses visit http://creativecommons.org





To download music from Creative Commons artists, I recommend Jamendo.


http://jamendo.com





To download legal Copyrighted music from a paid service, I recommend http://emusic.com or http://cdbaby.com .
Reply:I dunno, im pretty certain downloading any music off of limewire is illegal.
