The Center for Democracy and Technology has compiled a list of 30 websites that claim to offer legit music downloads, which are, in fact, not licensed distributors of the music they peddle.

These music download sites don’t offer legal music or any type of reliable service – they’re just there to take your money, like everyone else, really. Although these music download websites may resemble fully licensed services, they are not.

Here’s the list:

allcoolmusic.com
allmusicdownloads.com
e-mp3now.com
easymusicdownload.com
ezmp3s.com
free-music-downloads.cc

Sites on this list should be avoided at all costs. You are much better off using music download programs like Limewire or BitTorrent. If you’re into new gadgets, you might want to give Omemo, a new filesharing service, a quick once over. It’s one of the most interesting filesharing programs out there at the moment.
