Has anyone bought music from legalsounds.com? Is this legal and for real?

How can they get away with charging 9 cents for a song, when the iTunes store charges 99 cents? Is it legal to buy the MP3 files from legalsounds.com and use them here in the U.S.? Their web site has this non-helpful statement:

Is it legal to download music from site LegalSounds.com?

1. IS this what Dwight was talking about on "The Office"???

:bounce:

I don't know but thanks for the tip.

I was told that Limewire is supposed to be pretty good and definitely free (file sharing) I just can't download the software here at work ...well actually I CAN (I kept the admin's log on code) but I choose not too.

2. I certainly don't mind paying 9¢ per song, or $1 to $2 per album - I just want to know,

is it legal and I won't get in trouble for buying music this way? If it's all above board, why would anyone pay 99¢ when they can pay 9¢? I don't even mind paying 99¢ for a song I really want.
