I was just wondering if the free MP3s downloadable from the internet are legal or not.
I understand that the MP3 algorithm is a copyright(or proprietary ?) or the Fraunhofer Laboratory. So should one pay royalty for every MP3 song sold?
So do the free MP3 players become illegal too? Does this apply to only software or hardware as well? ie. the manufacturers of cheap MP3 player available in the market must pay royalty?
Thanks in advance.
