The sites below offer software or procedural instructions on sharing music without direct permission of the music copyright holders. The Fed has announced that soon the “Virginina Brodcasting Law" unauthorized streaming of music" will be a felony.Once this happens, these sites will either shut down voluntarily, radically change their business model, or be shut down by authorities. Even ones that are outside of the US may be “virtually' shut down through a court order to their US webhosts.

There are 100s more.
Sites that will be changing their tune soon regardless of new law.
With the understanding that “ciminal solicitation" criminal solicitation is also a crime all of the sites below promote illegal streaming of music though life-style pieces, biased/shoddy legal “analysis" of copyright law or direct advertising of other illegal streaming services.
In each case there is precedent to call these acts solicitation and/or facilitation. Count on seeing far less promotion of the P2P lifestyle on these sites now that use of the services themselves may become a felony.
