Its known as illegal downloading for a reason, thats my view on it.

Your view is that it's illegal?

It doesn't hurt anybody, it's the same as asking a friend if you can borrow their CD. If they said, 'no go and buy it, thats illegal' you'd think they're crazy.

Well also another reason is because I get garenteened 100mb in Lisbon (Soon Albufeira), so its quicker for me to download than to go to the shops.

Everyone knows it's illegal, how's that a view?:S

[Absently]

I usually download songs then go buy the album or the artist. Just to see if I actually like it or not.

[Wahey]

I think it's fine, but it is unfair on the makers

The last time I bought a film was about a year ago. Its much faster to download a film than to drive to the shop and buy one.

Yes if you look around you, most things are for a reason. It's known as illegal downloading because of this;
Downloading - Copying a file off the internet onto your own storage.
Illegal - Because copying a copyright file off the internet to your own storage is illegal.

So yes it is known as illegal downloading for a reason, quite obvious really.
