i HEARD the supreme court ruled it legal to download music. so kazaa should be legal again, as long as you don't share what you have. basically take, but don't give. i'd look into it a little before i did it myself.
other wise go to purevolume.com they have lots of bands you've never heard of. you can listen to music then download some of it if you like it, that is free and legal.
and yet another sincere thanks for what your doing.
