Legality of Downloaded Blog Music

[shookstar]

So in the long run, it is probably in my best interest just to stray from blogs all together?

When your on a blog and the title of the entry says 'Porter Robinson gives aways 4 tracks on soundcloud' stuff like that im sure you can use your imagination and assume its legal. Also all the laws depend on where you live different states have different laws i suppose.

If artists give away tracks, it's almost always only through their owns means of distribution. So if the blog links, like 1mco said, to an official page (be that the website, soundcloud, facebook, ...) for a free download you're obviously good to go. If it's a blog provided download, as a rule of thumb you best assume it's illegal.
