all are legal, its what you do with them that makes them illegal. if you are looking to trade copyrighted music for free, then no, you aren't going to find a legal one.

if it's played on the radio, or sold on a cd, it's probably copyrighted. some indie bands release some of their music to be distributed through p2p though, or for download on the internet. but their website will say so then.

id also like to add...some of those bands that allow free distribution of their music will often have it available at their own website.
