Illegally Obtaining Music
Using the regular file sharing sites such as mediafire and zippyshare is pretty self explanatory, though how to find them is not anymore, since google now restricts the results in regards to obtaining links for mediafire.

If you're looking for an album on mediafire, your first port of call should be /rs/. Search for the album by its full name and then by its initials, if you still can't find a working link. The problem with /rs/ now is that a lot of people upload albums that are not named after the album, but are given fake names, to try and delay them being taken down. As a result of this, you should try searching the archives, to see if the album you're looking for has been shared in a sharethread.
