...to use Dogpile audio to snag full-size MP3s of your favorite songs?

The issue of MP3 downloading was just covered in this thread:

I think you should find a good range of opinion on the topic,

And if you want my personal opinion, so long as it is illegal it is a sin.

I wasn't asking on a moral basis, really, but more along the lines of whether or not this specific case is wrong. Let me rephrase: is it possible that the song files Dogpile brings up exist on the web legally?

Ah, I see.

I would say no, they are not any more legal than they would be from a P2P network. If the music is copyrighted, then it is illegal to distribute it without compensating the artist or having said artist's consent.

PureVolume has a lot of legal downloads submitted straight from the bands.
