quote:nope, with music, if you own the cd, you can download the songs, its dvd's where your buying the license to watch it, and therefor its ilegal to make a copy or download it. basicly, if your supposed to pay for it, you cant legally download it | |

actually with most hard mediums, tapes, records, video tapes, cds, dvds etc you are allowed a backup copy which can be used instead of the product but cannot be sold or lent out etc | |

I think its technically legal to download so long as you have the original, you are allowed a copy of it. However sharing it is illegal, and im guessing you dont have the originals as there wouldnt be that much point in downloading them :lol: | |

downloading and sharing are 2 different things. Some company allow downloads of their products as trial and then you can buy, it all depends on what you are downloading | |

The companys that produce software aren't really doing much to stop it though. It can't be much of a problem. I mean, my copy of Windows knows it's illegitimate, yet it still works. All it does is tell me it needs a new serial number, like I'm going to bother with that. | |

it isnt illegal to download material, the sharing/distribution of it is what makes it illegal* :) | |

I don't think downloading of copyrighted material is 100% legal, but I don't think it's as illegal as sharing - if that makes any sense? | |
