The remedies provided by the law to a copyright owner mean that anyone found making illegal copies, or otherwise infringing, could face:
1. Statutory damages of from $750 to $30,000 and, if the court finds willfulness, up to $150,000; and
2. If willful infringement for commercial advantage and private financial gain is proved, fines of up to $250,000 and/or five years' imprisonment, or both.(as of March 1, 1989)
Why would you ever want to risk being caught for copyright infringement? After the government fines you, all of the artists that you steal from will probably end up suing you.

If this music is copyrighted and you're not the owner, it is illegal for you to share it without the artists' explicit permission.
The other sites get away with it because they either use torrents where they don't host any of the music, or they stay under the radar.
