In a capitalistic world of property and profits it seems like artists need to explicitly say that their music is meant to be shared: Free music under [[free content]] licenses.

Of course also other ("non-free") music also needs to be shared to live (- otherwise it doesn't make much sense -) nevertheless in some cases the sharing may be illegal, the persons who share it called "pirates"...

For example the free music movement that is inspired by the successful free software movement as well as the filesharing scene (called "piracy" by the music industry) with important projects like The Pirate Bay.

"Free music"

Free music is music, where the artist explicitly supports the sharing of his music.

recordings

Computers and the internet have brought about nice ways to share recordings of music. Especially file sharing and peer-to-peer networks are important tools here.

Recordings that get released only on a physical medium are usually "ripped" - i.e. read from the medium once to have the contents as a digital file that is more independent from a medium - and easier to copy (e.g. transmission over a digital communication networks like the internet) - and therefore easier to share.

There are several projects and communities on the internet for the sharing of (recordings of) music:
