As a Franchise Attorney I can say it depends where and how you download the music. If you download from authorized resellers, like Amazon or iTunes, these transactions are legal. If not, you are engaging in copyright infringement and there are significant penalties. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
