mp3 and the law Despite popular misconsception mp3s aren't illegal!
MP3 is simply a medium in which to store music. It can be used to store or distribute music in a legal (eg: mp3.com), or an illegal way. Compare it to any other medium: a blank piece of paper can be used to take some notes, as can it be used to make illegal copies of a copyrighted work.
mp3s for consumers:
You are allowed to make a copy of any original piece of music which you have bought in order to store to it in any form. It's perfectly legal for you to buy an album, encode it in mp3, write this mp3 to a cd and listen to it on your computer mp3 player. Allowing others access to the music you bought the rights to listen to is not allowed, nor is lending or trading your mp3s.
mp3s and artists:
You are allowed to record your a piece of original music, encode it into mp3 files and put it on a website for the download. When your music clips are available for free, you do not have to pay any royalties to Thomson*. If you charge for mp3s, you are obliged the Thomson mp3 royalties. (1%, $15k minimum)
mp3s and music broadcasting (eg. Internet Radio):
You are allowed to broadcast mp3 streams and so long as you don't charge for them you wont have to pay any royalties to Thomson. If you charge an the mp3 stream, you will have to comply to the Thomson mp3 broadcasting royalties (2%, $2k minimum, since 2001).

Solstice revellers warned off parties BBC News
Summer solstice revellers heading for Stonehenge have been warned off holding any unlicensed "mass gatherings" after the event.
Police in the neighbouring county of Hampshire say they will not tolerate any illegal parties after Saturday's solstice.
Officers are to be out in force in the area between Basingstoke, Andover and the Wiltshire border to thwart any attempts to hold parties.
Up to 30,000 people are already expected to gather during Friday in preparation for the solstice at Stonehenge.
Superintendent Mark Chatterton, Andover's divisional commander, said: "We are not being killjoys, we are all in favour of people having a good time provided the event is properly licensed to ensure that it is safe for everyone.
Speakers seized
"Last month 25,000 people attended the Homelands Festival near Winchester - they enjoyed themselves in a safe and properly organised environment.
"We will not stand for anyone setting up any sort of event that has not been through the safety and licensing process and there is nothing that meets that criteria in Hampshire around the solstice."
The police have said that sound systems and speakers will be seized in the event of an unlicensed gathering.
The Ministry of Defence, a major landowner around Andover, is also working with police to ensure that their sites are secure from occupation by solstice revellers.

Stonehenge’s summer solstice goes ahead BBC News
Tighter controls are planned for an expected 23,000 visitors to Stonehenge for the summer solstice.
New restrictions this year will mean visitors will not be able to get onto the site until 0200 BST and will be banned from bringing sleeping bags.
The stones will be open from 0200 BST to 12 noon on Saturday 21 June, and access will be free.
Visitors face random searches before entering the site.
Dr Simon Thurley, chief executive of English Heritage, said: "We are very pleased to welcome people to Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice.
Conditions of entry:
No climbing on the stones
No large bags, rucksacks or sleeping bags
No fires, flaming torches, candles or fireworks
No amplified music: acoustic only
No dogs or pets
No tents or garden furniture
No glass or cans
No bikes
"We have set conditions of entry which are in accordance with our duty of care to the public and to Stonehenge."
Kevin Carlyon, a self-confessed white witch, told the BBC: "I can see where they are coming from.
"Plastic only is a good idea, for example, as people do try and scratch their initials into the stone with pens and so on."
English Heritage says drunken, disorderly or antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated and that only small amounts of alcohol for personal use will be permitted.
English Heritage reserves the right to refuse admission.
