Where can I download the Band Aid Song - Do they know its christmas time - MP3

Hello darrensmith

You can not legally download this song in mp3 format. This is for the
simple reason that a downloaded mp3 file can be too easily copied and
re-distributed, and hence no music content provider is likely to make
it available.

However all is not lost. You *can* legally listen to this song, in
digital format, on your PC, by making use of one of the new legitimate
music content providers that are starting to appear. These websites
have been mostly set up in conjunction with large music industry
corporations as their response to the proliferation of peer-to-peer
file-sharing programs over the past five years.

One of the largest of these type of content distributors is
listen.com, who have done deals to provide music content from many of
the industry leaders, including BMG, EMI, and pertinent to your query,
Sony Music. Sony Music is the parent company of Columbia Records who
were the label for the original Band Aid single in 1984.

the listen.com website -- you can see that this is one of the
artists/groups whose work they have online here

Concise and realistic - however, (and not Google's issue) there are
many hundereds of thousands of people willing to pay for downloadable
MP3's via legitimate channels. the music industry should get their
fingers out of their proverbials and capitalise on this.

This song is protected by copyright and you must not download it.
