It is legal to download legally available material. The problem with your thread was that you were seeking links to unauthorised leaks of unreleased albums.

Amir from ALPHA 3 made a collection with 14 songs e uploaded by rapidshare
I didn't like it myself, anyway it's good to know and check by yourselves.
HE also made a new version to a VDGG song.. very interesting.

Haven't heard any feedback ... would you folks feel comfortable giving your credit card number on such a site ?
I've done this for Marillion and D.O.A., which were based in the U.K., and Canada respectively. Er , could Gatot be the person to talk to ?

Indeed. The use of the word legal in the name or promotion does not guaranteed they are legal.

Did a rough sampling of bands that are supposedly available through these sites. Verified the artist official site to see if sites like ITunes and others are mentioned.  The few that do mention download sites, do not refer to these.
My belief, IMO, is that these sites are bogus.One site states that they just  "refer" you to other sites Wink where you may find music you want to legally download, eh. But stating no responsability for the destination site.

What's so strange about that? I have a list of links on Progfreak.com too ... all are legitimate - at least I hope so. But I can't know what all those webmasters are doing ...

true, but I think the legit sites usually have some sort of reference point or description such as record label sourcing for material, or that they serve the smaller independant acts or labels.
For some business models, they will state the limitations inherent in their service, i.e. subscription services where the music is playable only on the computer while it streams. Or, the need for one to endure ads that pay for the "free" music.
Any site where you can get commercially released music for nothing is a site that I question. Kazaa, Emule, BitTorrent and all other P2Ps never ever claim that they have the blessing of the artists or labels, because they don't. So if you don't see the labels being mentioned, chances are they're not associated.
