The following websites offer safe, legal and totally free alternatives for downloading music and videos online.

In recent years, the Recording Industry Association of America has cracked down on illegal downloading of music, suing thousands of users including grandmothers and children. Many die-hard downloaders have resorted to other means and methods to download music. Besides the obvious legal ramifications involved with downloading illegally, users may also contend with a variety of issues including corrupted and dummy files, damaging computer viruses and pornography.

The following two websites provide safe and legal alternatives for downloading 100% free music and videos on the Internet. Both offer a large and continuously expanding media library. As with most things that are free however, there are several restrictions that apply.
