Deezer is a website on which you can listen to all the music you want for free, legally.
Deezer is french, it has been founded by the creators of blogmusik.net. Blogmusik.net was illegal, and has been forced to close by rights owners. Now, the conceivers of the extinct site are considered as respectable and responsible people by the musical industry. Their new baby, Deezer, has contracted partnerships with the SACEM, the SPPF (group of independant labels), Sony, and even Free which want to compete Neuf telecom.
The business model is founded on advertising : there are two advertisements on the page, and the profits are dispensed to the artists depending on their success on Deezer.
The player of Deezer is in flash, and it is embedded in the page. As music is diffused by streaming, if you leave the page, music stops. You cannot download anything. Actually, there has been a weakness that enabled people to download mp3s, but now the system is secured.
If you can listen to the music that already belongs to the catalog of Deezer, you can also upload your own music collection, that will be included to the catalog if it matches with the database.
Here is a paradox : you can legally share and listen to illegally acquired music.
Wait and see...
