Yeah, everyone does it. I think some people aren't even aware that it's illegal since it's done so much.

it's not illegal in canada.
idk.. i mean, i see were downloading one or two songs from a cd
if they are the only songs you like.. that makes sense. idk otherwise..

It's an issue everywhere and more and more people are getting sued. 12.000 in the states, 1500 in canada, 4800 in the UK and I think 3500 recently in germany so yeah it's an issue.

I guess most people just don't know / care that it's illegal (besides in russia)

welcome to alltopix btw!

It is Legal in Canada but I don't think it will be for long. I download my music from iTunes because it's only $.99 and it's convient and legal and stuff. I also downloaded 2 TV shows from iTunes.

Actually. The artists don't make much money from the CD's. Most of it goes to the record companys. Most musicians and artists get their money from the internet and legal downloading. The only people you are hurting when you are illegaly downloading is the record companies. You are also hurting yourslef putting yourself in chance of being arrested. The sentence for downloading is pretty high.

And if people get arrested for it i think that would really fill up the prisons lol. Their aint many people that dont. I sometimes buy real ones but thats when i get bad copies.
