Yes, digital music files themselves are legal. Many people have digital music files on their computer that they received in a legal way, either ripping them from a CD they own or buying them through a digital music service. However, there are a large number of people who trade MP3 files either to each other or through file-sharing networks. This practice is illegal. If you only receive your music files through a digital music service or from your personal CDs, then you are in the clear. Christwill Music only sells legal music.
