3 Hive This is a great source for free, legal and cool mp3's. The folks at 3hive have put together a great collection of links to bands and the free mp3's they have available, including a short description/bio of each artist. New posts appear almost every day making this an excellent source for new music. Radio who needs it!

Free, Legal and mostly Live Music has been kicking around for quite some time now:

FurthurNet, bt.etree.org and the blessed Live Music Archive @ archive.org.

most of this is uncompressed music...huge file sizes result with lots of burning necessary :)

Archive.org is also host to quite a few internets-only netlabels, under which I've found some great experimental electronica. My favorite of which is Monotonik.
