Is there any chance the music section is legal? I would love to be able to put songs on my own pages, but I assumed it would be a legal issue? Is there a way to license songs at a reasonable price.

If he has the license then yea it's legal. Chances are if he's posted it publicly he has the rights. Also for a low level personal website that's not going to get a lot of traffic and only hosting 3 songs they probably gave him a license for free.

Incredibly unlikely.

"Dance Yrself Clean" is owned by Warner Music Group, "Come On Eileen" is owned by Universal Music Group.

Both are highly litigious, extremely rights-protective and not in the habit of licensing music for free.

It is far more likely the person who put the site up just YOLO'd it and is hoping they never notice.
