I found a site where you can download music free. The site looks pretty professional, but I have a feeling it's illegal. All the music you download there is free (and it's not the creators' own music). The site allows you to download Korean music for free, but in Korea there's already a legallized site for music downloads (Just like iTunes but in Korean, legal because you must pay for the music you want to download)
Anyway, when you click download, it just leads you to MediaFire and you download it off there.
So, despite how professional it looks, is the site illegal? I do not support illegal downloading of music because it does not support the artists that work hard to make the music.
Yes, definately. A legit music download website would not be using MediaFire, they would have their own server.
What do you mean by the artists working "hard?"
On a more serious note, how hard they work is irrelevant. It is their music and theirs only to do with what they want. The redistribution of that music IS illegal if it's not by them or their producers.
You said.

I say "Your a puppet."
That lame line is tossed around, be it music or software, yet has no fact behind it.
I recall in the early 90s we were using DOS 3.11 Some people had this additional program called Windows 3. People would hand it around. (pirate)
Trouble was you needed a better computer, bigger hard drive, more memory, faster processors all because Win3 was demanding. When I say more memory I personally brought 16m of memory for $800. Yes it did look nice but in the end all windows does is what I could do with my k-board.
It was not until Win95 that windows took off. Yet the only reason it did was because people who had used it (illegally) then wanted to get the new.
Music is similar.
Half the artist I enjoy were introduced to me by pirated ways. In the Early 70s we did it using Cassette Tapes to copy LPs. Later it was CD burners and now days its the Internet.
All are ways of sharing information. For me, very few bands will I just go and buy with out trying. (heariillegal free music downloadsng.)
I have more than once received/listened to a copied tape/CD and then gone on to buy many of he artist albums.
Before falling for the poor artist line consider this.
Copying music and sharing it around has been happening since the 60s. The population in those days was half of what it is today. So if after 50 years our practice of sharing (pirated) music did not stave artist to death why is it that all of a sudden with billions of fans buying today, they cant put food on the table?
There are answers.
Maybe in the case of music, the music distributing companies (recording companies) could be more reasonable with the amount of money they keep. You know those poor artist you defend. They get very little from the sale of a CD. Most of the money from the sale of a CD goes to the recording company. So in you defending the artist, it is in fact business like Sony and Warner Brothers who most benefit from honest people like you, not the artist. .
It was not the music artist who invented the starving artist tale.
