Downloading music is illegal when you copy copyrighted music except for when it is for your own use. It is legal to record CD’s that you have purchased onto MP3 files but it is illegal to upload these files to peer-to-peer files. -Heather Gonring
Music isn't illegal when you rip them from a cd. Canada has charged a tax on mp3 files. The music industry loses money when we don't buy the songs and just download them. People are going to court for uploading copyrighted material. More and more people are starting to get punished for downloading music.

Still not sure who moz3 is - thanks Emily for signing after your post. Haven't heard from Alexis, Mitchel, Ethan, Ryan, Maxine, Chaz, Jessie, Amanda, Chelsea, and Jordan. If you don't post by Jan. 1, 2009 your zero will remain. You are required to read the article and write a summary on when it's illegal to download music. Mrs. Lang
This might be late, but I beleive that downloading music online should not be illegal. The only case that it should be legal is if you are getting the songs for free.
1. they work so hard to make the music and dont make any money if its downloaded for free they dont make money. 2. some sites pay for the songs and some steal from the other sites so you can download for free. 3. in the last 3 years stores have lost 20% of yearly profit from free downloading
