I have very little internet experience aside from being on WP.

Here's the question. Is it illegal to download songs off a band's myspace or did they put them there for public consumption?

That's what they put them there for. The bands maintain their own pages. I have one, although I don't have any downloads allowed.

Batista90, being called a peer-to-peer network doesnt make it legal, it just means that everyone can access the material. Limewire songs aren't making any money for the bands are they? so it would be breaking media piracy laws. Myspace downloads are legal though, yes, because they are being offered by the band.
