Fans can stream the mix, but not access the mp3s to download them illegally -- the music itself is in a hidden folder, with the file names changed to meaningless numbers. In the meantime, each song has links to both amazon and iTunes, to encourage purchasing.
I think the rule most serious fanmix fans go by is this -- if you listen to it more than twice, you need to go buy the songs. Obviously that is a guideline enforced only by one's own honor, but it's one I for one obey.
