Is MP3 panda the site legal?

Answer 1

Purchasing music from mp3panda and similar sites is illegal in the US.

These sites are legal in Russia because of loop holes in the countries copyright laws but Russian Federation Copyright laws don't apply in the US. Once you down load the pirated music you are in violation of US copyright and anti-piracy laws.

If you are going to use this or similar sites I wouldbe hesitant to share your CC info with a foreign company that has demonstrated they have no problem with stealing. Many CC companies offer low limit cards, temporary cards, and/or cards for Internet purchases from approved stores only.

UPDATE on August 2010:

A curious researcher did a test of this site to see what the social consequences are for signing up. With hours of signing into MP3Panda, the email address used began to receive Facebook and MySpace friend requests from complete strangers. In addition, the Google Voice phone number provided began receiving text messages for "Get Cash Instantly" offers. Prior to signing up, neither of these accounts had ever received any such emails or offers.

The following is from the U.S. Copyright Office:

Uploading or downloading works protected by copyright without the authority of the copyright owner is an infringement of the copyright owner's exclusive rights of reproduction and/or distribution.

Answer 2

Yes. The site is completely legal and was featured in The New York Times' Top 100 sites to download music from. It is virus free aswell which is a plus. The reason why it is so cheap is because the site is covered by money paid by advertising. Hope this answer has helped.
