Finally, consumers benefit from a copyright lawsuit. As part of a copyright lawsuit, the defence has compiled a list of freely downloadable, and legitimate, EMI songs on the Internet, to counter EMI’s insistence that they never give away free songs on the Internet.

A lot of the links won’t work anymore, but many do, so download away and help prove EMI do give away songs legally.\

Here’s the Google spreadsheet with the song titles, and links.

Free music download, no questions asked (well email address required, maybe), featuring these cover mixes:

1. Telephone – Lady Gaga
2. In My Head – Jason Derulo
3. Revolver – Madonna
4. Empire State of Mind – Jay Z Feat. Alicia Keys
5. Hard – Rihanna
