What annoys me is when people try and download whole movies. Now thats just greedy! One day when you can buy what ever songs you want for a reasonable price, without purchasing a whole lot of bad ones you don't like, I will see downloading music as evil and bad. But until than $1 a song is far too much to be paying. Besides those legal downloads aren't even possible in my country =-(

In terms of being legal or not, it is illegal unless the song has been released by the writer for personal free download.
In terms of whether or not it is morally right, thats for you to decide.
My opinion is that with 90% of the bands these days about one or two songs on their album are worth listening to, so I will be damned if I am going to pay $14.99+ to buy one song.
If your looking for a download program that you have to pay, find one that you pay a flat rate per month for, not one per song. $14 or so a month isnt bad to download as much as you want, download the entire album then delete the crap from it.
As far as movies go, reality is, these people get paid way too much to do what they are doing, even if one million people downloaded the same movie, they would still get extreme royalties from theater showings, etc.

It is wrong to do, because these artist live off the money made by the songs, and it's there work. If you take their work for free, than they wouldn't get the money that they rightfully worked for. If you just want some music, just get Itunes and download a song for just 99 cents.

If you want to try out the music, then no, because it's better to know beforehand the $16 you spend will be worthwhile than to return home and find you can only bear to tolerate half a song. But if you're downloading whole CDs just because you're too cheap to go out and support your favorite artist, then yes, it is.

Not really..its just that you should be careful in downloading a free music coz some of them has virus attachment. Before you play your downloaded music, scan it first.

the music Industry has been working on that for the last few years and I think they succeeded, they are working on the ideas, they make you believe that downloading for free is wrong, is evil, until you believe it, Do you think it is fair to pay $1 for a song??
