If you pay for the music download, keep a record of your payment. Recording companies and attorneys representing performing artists are aggressively pursuing music downloading from illegitimate sites, or "sharing" among unrelated persons.
You will know if a site is legitimate, if you are paying for the download, locations such as itunes, etc are legitimate music selling web sites.
