People get confused all of the time with the word "Torrent".  Torrent's per se are not illegal.  A torrent is a delivery system, that's all.  Just like CB said, it's the content contained within the torrent, where the problem lies.  If the content was obtained without permission from the copyright holder, it is indeed illegal.

With that said, there are plenty of legal torrents.  Take for example the last 2 releases from the group 'Nine Inch Nails' (Ghosts I-IV and The Slip) were legally trasmitted over the internet via torrents.

But, unfortunately, there is far more illegal content being shared via torrents than legal; so the word 'torrent' gets a black eye.

Frostclick and Jamendo (Posted above) both offer legal torrents. Licensed under Creative Commons, which makes it free and legal. 

A new one I found and has TONS of stuff.

Well, CB and GB, I stand corrected

I was under that impression that they were all piracy....my bad.

We both know that's what the original poster (that brought up the "t" word) had in mind, though

Found another one! Its all Legit. I checked!

Free Albums Galore

You classical music fans will like this one! I saw, Hayden, Shostakovich, and Mahler, just at a glance. And Scrolling thru a little more I see Mozart, and Puccini, as well as Schubert and Vivaldi. All this is intermixed with Hip Hop, Rock, Pop, Indie, Country, Electronic, and stuff that not even the Pros can classify. I think I found a new favorite for the Obscure freebie albums.

I mentioned The Internet Archive on another thread so let's put it here too. Also, do check out the Other Music Sources page on the Free Albums Galore link provided by CB for a lot of other sources. Their first listing:

The Internet Archive - The ultimate source for open source audio, long out-of-print 78s, netlabels, and live music.

It also has Audio Books & Poetry.

Its cool, but if you are wondering the Torrents are completely cool, no viruses or junk. Its all completely legal, and on the Up and Up. I downloaded all of it and it works great.
