It is not illegal to burn cds, typically. However, if you download music files without paying for them from a service like limewire, that is illegal. Then burning them to a cd is illegal.
The trick to not getting caught downloading music is to not "upload" it. Then you can't be caught sharing the files. In the software you use there is probably an "options" menu item that will let you turn off uploading. Then you can download without worry. Even if you don't turn off uploading, it's still pretty unlikely that you will ever get caught, but why push it?
Now, if you pay for the songs, or the artist allows you to download from their site, or if you rip the songs from a cd that you already own, you can burn the songs to a cd, since you legally own the song.
Have fun!

Burning cd's isn't unlawful if it particularly is for deepest use, besides the actuality that maximum cd's are copyrighted. enable's say you acquire an album from iTunes on line. you may and are inspired to burn a backup cd of that album, for deepest use. The rules are blurry and unprecise whilst it is composed of copyrights, so the only thank you to verify is to burn mixed cd's (diverse songs from diverse artists) that's surely wonderful as long as you do no longer sell them.

If you paid for the songs on itunes or online than it is legal to burn a cd. actually burning a cd is perfectly legal, its pretty much just how you got the songs

It's only illegal if you plan to distribute them. Like sell them at a swap meet.
