Who said free music downloads were illegal?

I just ran across this site and thought it was an amazing concept.  I am not sure how or if the site downloads could be used as content for websites and blogs.  I am going to write to the staff and see if they have any plans!

SpiralFrog and Universal Music Group Partner in Advertising-Supported Legal Music Download Service

SpiralFrog is a new online music destination, offering ad-supported legal downloads of audio and video content licensed from the catalogs of the world’s major and independent record labels.

SpiralFrog will be a secure environment where music lovers can satisfy their unyielding passion and thirst for music, entertainment, and information. Our site will be as multifaceted, smart, and current as the audience we hope to attract. An audience that we believe is the driving force behind the way music is created, discovered, and consumed today.

The SpiralFrog website is currently in Beta, and will debut in Q1 2007.
