My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley

Legal or not, your college firewall is probably configured to block them anyways. :roll: (They use up bandwidth for "useless" things)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only legal ones I can think of are iTunes and Napster, since you have to pay for the songs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if the band gives them out on their site, then they're free and legal also. :wink:
