Forms of Piracy?
 
Is uploading mp3's(songs) to a website a form of piracy and is it illegal?

Yes. But who cares? THAT IS A VERY BAD THING TO DO

The reason I was posting this was because I needed to use fast downloads for my loading song on my server. (That was worded pretty bad, sorry :()

Depends on who owns the copyrights.

Uploading them isn't illegal, but making them available in public / distributing them is illegal, if you don't own the copyrights to the works.

So if someone downloads it through my server, is that illegally distributing?

It also depends on which country your server is located in.

Search around, there's plenty of listenable music licensed under Creative commons for example. If you don't want it to be your favorite list hits, finding free music isn't that hard. :)

Yes very much so, check the law of your country & country the server is in.
