In my opinion, "freegal" will suffer a similar fate to limewire, either in the short or longterm.

I agree with you. I have been unemployed in the past and I know what it's like when money is tight but regardless of whether this 'freegal' thing is legal or not, to me it wouldn't feel morally right to be downloading music that artists have put a lot of time and effort into creating. If I can't afford to buy it, then I can't have it, it's as simple as that and I accept it.
I can't believe that record companies allow this to happen to be honest. It's one thing to allow a couple of tracks per artist to be downloaded but to allow every track on an album to be downloaded? They may as well tell the artists not to bother promoting their albums to fans and just tell everyone to go and get a library card and get the album for free.
