I think you can, but I'm guessing you still have to get the console cracked

[Why2u]

lol at this. DONT DOWNLOAD ILLEGALLY >;l
If the FBI cracks down on the site you downloaded from, it can get the IP you downloaded it with, they can track your computer, find where you live, and slap you with a fine of up to $100,000. Don't do it.

So they're going to get about 5 million different ips from rapidshare and prosecute them all?

FBI has no regulation down my ends, so I'll take my chances.

Major records or bands or artists I'm not too sure I'll like I'll download, but unsigned and good bands I like I'll buy the album. Doing my part to save the scene and all that.
I'll stream TV shows from America and the like, but never movies - just can't settle down/sit still and watch a movie on my laptop.

They did a few years ago when napster was doing illegal.

Should it be allowed: no
Should ISPs have more control: no
Do people only download because they can't afford to pay: no

agreed tbh

i wouldn't want sum1 watching over me whilst doing homework or sum crap

[Why2u]

you also risk getting a virus or keylogger whilst downloading crap.

Most Torrents or Downloads show you exactly what you're downloading and after doing it for a while you get to notice which files are real and which aren't and it's just second nature to go straight to the real ones. When you go to play the file and notice it doesn't work, you delete it straight away - that's if your virus software hasn't already blocked it.
Besides, if you download stuff straight off myspace or youtube, you know you're just getting the file you want.

So, not much of a risk to me.

but can you download PS3 games? (im really asking)

You can probably find PS3 ROMs And Emulators somewhere on the internet.
