It all started with Lars Ulrich. Before he sued Napster back in 2000 and won, illegal downloading wasn't even illegal. No one really knew what it was. But after that case, hundreds of aggrieved musicians, record labels, and countries tried to stop people like me downloading Limp Bizkit's back catalog for free. Just yesterday Isohunt, a pirate website that didn't actually host any MP3s itself but just had a directory for websites where you could download them, was ordered to pay about $50 million to a music-industry group called "Music Canada." The UK government is planning on putting the maximum sentence for online piracy up to ten years inside for the most serious offenses, according the Office of Intellectual Property.

Of course, when Napster launched, places like Virgin Megastores and Tower Records were charging in excess of $20 for an album and often more for a film or box set. The entertainment industry generally treated the public with disregard, and people felt ripped off. So there was a fair amount of delight in sticking it to them and downloading terabytes worth of free songs. If you need a comparison for this day and age, imagine if someone built another railway line right next to every Amtrak train track and then ran the service for nothing, and then Amtrak came out and said, "Yes we know the free track is there, but the moral thing to do is support us."

Free Downloading Of Music Website

Eventually the music industry worked out that it couldn't just bash people with the proverbial stick, and it created the carrot of way cheaper legal downloading and streaming services, while also going around closing down the websites that had almost destroyed its business.

That tactic pretty much worked, and today I, like everyone else, am more than happy to wrestle with the extensive catalogs of YouTube and Spotify rather than endangering my computer with dodgy software. But I do wonder what happened to those old pirate websites, whether they still exist in some kind of internet graveyard or whether they have all been expunged.

So, as I was feeling particularly blue this week, I decided to try download Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" for free on every old pirate website, to see if any of them had sprung back up in my absence.

This is what you get when you get on to the Napster website these days: some generic looking music-streaming site in the guise of Apple Music or Spotify. Apparently after getting chinned by years of high-profile lawsuits, Napster decided to shut down its original pirate incarnation. But after getting bought out by US electronic retailers Best Buy, and later merging with Rhapsody, it has since rebranded itself as a paid for streaming service (a.k.a. sold out to the fucking system, man). I won't be finding a free copy of a classic folk ballad here.

When I was growing up, the main bad boy of the downloading game was always Limewire. Sure, it had more viruses than you could shake a stick at and was horribly slow, but it was always user-friendly. So it was a massive shame when I tried to click on www.limewire.com only to be met with another "site can't be found" page. I started having a look at various downloadable options and almost went for the one below, but then thought about how many viruses used to fuck up my computers back in the day and had a little pause.

Finally then, to Soulseek, trusty old Soulseek. Soulseek was the worst-looking, least user-friendly of the big P2P networks. It was the illegal downloading site your older brother used. Perhaps for that reason people didn't seem that bothered about knocking it off the internet and whaddayaknow, it's still operational.

Yes! Finally, after a whole three hours or so of being rejected by various old pirate websites, I was let back in by the sweet and loving embrace of Soulseek. I was now free to enjoy the tender and heartbreaking sounds of the "Sound of Silence" at my leisure, just like I used to do with Limp Bizkit all those years ago.

So what do we know now? First, let me unreservedly apologize to Simon and Garfunkel. I have deleted the song off my computer and am now listening to it for free on YouTube instead, for which I'm sure you will receive 0.0003 cents. Second, the music industry has done a great job of making illegal downloading so hard and annoying and made streaming so easy that it doesn't even need to finish shutting down the remaining sites because who wants to spend three hours going through each one seeing which works. And third, this remains the greatest song ever written:

Finding free music has been a thorn in the side of creators since the early days of YouTube. There are loads of different music libraries and resources for content creators out there, each one offering free tracks that are safe to use across YouTube and social media.

One of the OG royalty-free music sites! Bensound is the work of French musician Benjamin Tissot, who has spent the last decade creating tracks to share with the creator community through his basic music website.

Lots of artists get started on Soundcloud, but they could later be signed up by a label or register their music with Content ID at some point in the future. If this happens, you could end up receiving copyright claims on any of your videos that use their music.

Cons: NCS often only uploads one track per YouTube video, so browsing their music can be time consuming as you have to load each track one-by-one - not to mention having to sit through YouTube ads!

In a nutshell, copyright-free music is music that is not protected by copyright. But the term is more widely used in the creator space to describe tracks that can be used without the threat of copyright issues on YouTube.

So there you have it, our top nine free music websites for YouTube and creators. If you're a creator on the hunt for the very best background music for videos that you can download for free, start your search with Uppbeat. It's got the best selection of free music for YouTube videos, with great tracks guaranteed to give your next project a lift.

Anytime I try and download a piece of music it always forces me to upgrade my account to a pro account I don't know if there is some way to get out of that screen to download it or I have to pay money to download it, and then print it.

musescore.com doesn't sell goods; they sell a service. That service includes many things, but one of them is, the ability to download user-created arrangements of copyrighted music. The service itself works as advertised, but of course, since we are talking user-created scores, their quality will vary. There are truly professional-quality scores there, but also scores from people just learning music, and everything in between.

Yea that's dumb I shouldn't have to pay for someone's amateur arrangement of a copyrighted piece I thought the whole point of this site was that everything from the software to other people's arrangements were open source. I don't want to pay $50 a month or whatever to shitcorp #2001 so I can download the accompaniment score someone kindly made for a musical that wasn't written prior to 1930. I'm probably gonna have to just copy the score by hand onto a new .mcsz file so I can actually use it.

Indeed, as mentioned, the software is open source. But that doesn't change the reality of copyright law. Your composition belongs to you just as someone else's composition belongs to them. Everyone gets to decide for themselves if they wish to grant others permission to publish arrangements for free or not. Most professional composers decide "no", because getting paid for use of your work is kind of the definition of "professional" here. The website - not this one, but the score-sharing site musescore.com - has license agreements with many of these composers or their representatives that allow arrangements to be posted and viewable for free, which is frankly amazing. But indeed, the agreements generally require payment for download.

If the music in question is protected by copyright, then the owner (estate ...) is entitled to royalties, even for scores. And so, that's where all of this comes from. (But there are plenty of public-domain materials which are free.)

I concur on anybody (who chooses not to pay anything) asking the uploader for this or that composition. In fact, I went through the significant labor to mirror ALL my MuseScore compositions on my music website - just for this reason. If Joe Average person wants any of my output for absolutely free, they need only take some extra time to go to my personal domain. They can get a MS native file, and a PDF plus MP3 / WAV audio rendering.

I face the same problem. Surely, it has no solution. It is very common in all piano sheets websites. Some even only give you the first page to view, which is very exasperating. Therefore, I always take screenshots of the piano sheet and convert them into pdfs by Adobe Scan. Then, I print them out.
