It is only a crime to download music that is not available for free download. Lots of bands have download links on their websites where you can download songs for free. This is NOT illegal.

I think everyone in the free world knows it is a crime.
I also think if the music companies reduced the price of cd's to align to what they actual cost to manufacture they would actually sell more music and lots of the pirating would cost.
In the old days, vinyl records, 8 tracks, etc. cost a lot to manufacture, ship, etc.
With CD's, the cost is much lower but the music companies actually raised the cost.
Then they wonder why people won't bend over and get screwed!
Fair prices would reduce pirated downloads.

It's much easier than I thought! And downloads are so fast! I downloaded many songs and as they say, it was perfect. Now I am discovering all the music/movies that I can download. This is SO cool!. Try it yourself http://www.kazaa-platinum.com

Yes I do, and Yes I do and no I wont.
(however where I live piracy laws a little more laxed and media is levied to make up for the lost revenues)

I think it would be dumb for anyone to answer yes to this question.
