When? Still is illigal.
Why? it's copywrighted music. When someone buys a CD or an mp3 (from the yahoo music sites or iTunes) The record company makes money and the artest who produced the CD gets royalties. So if you download copywrighted music for free your basically taking their way to earn money.

not sure when. Why? The recording artist doesn't make any profit if people can download the product for free. Since you can download songs for about $.99 I think that is a fair price for their artistic endeavor. We can't complain.

Ah,interesting question. Funny, though, all this fuss wasn't brought up when I was recording tunes onto cassette tapes off the radio.
Hmmm...radio...free music...

it was always against the law, because it is basically stealing the artist's product, their song. By not buying it, you take money out of their pocket

It was called piracy. It kills music industry.
