I think piracy is when you download songs and burn them onto a cd and sell them for profit.

The specifics of music and electronic intellectual property piracy versus legal use is being fought in courts worldwide. The basic answer is that piracy is when music or intellectual property is transfered between two parties without the permission of or compensation for the creator of said property. Many of the questions are in what constitutes fair personal use. Burning a CD to listen to in a car? Giving a CD to a friend? Giving a CD to 10, 100, 1000 friends?

God tells us to obey the regulation. even with if the regulation seems unfair. I advise per chance this will be taken too actually.. like, as an get mutually if i flow fifty 5.5 miles in accordance to hour on the interstate the position the speed reduce is fifty 5 yet all the different automobiles are going a minimum of 60, and that i favor to maintain up as a fashion to dodge a crash.. purely use problem-free experience. base line: in case you imagine it really is stealing and also you do it besides/ it really is sin. you're smart sufficient to understand precise from incorrect.

Neither is one is legal. If you are distributing or obtaining copyrighted music without permission from the company it is technically illegal sharing or otherwise. Ethically, however that's up to you to make the call.
It is perfectly legal if you created and composed the music yourself and/or have permission from the group or artist to download and distribute it for free.

I believe that piracy is anything that would violate the software license.
It's my understanding that for CD's, you can basically do anything for your personal use, but it's illegal to buy music and give (or sell) that music to others.

well if youre sharing your files then you are allowing somebody else to pirate that file or files so you are an associate of piracy so sharing might be a bad idea
