I used to torrent.
but when over 40 billion songs were downloaded illegally last year they will never be able to control it so why bother.

BT sent me a letter asking me if I was downloading movies illegally because I had gone over my download limit by a fair bit and it listed a load of torrents. I thought I was going to get in the **** but they just asked me to consider upgrading to unlimited downloads. Many laughs were had.

I'm fine with pirating as I have done it for ages.
Why waste money on DVD box sets when you can get it for free? Then with that money, you can get clothes&stuff.

Illegal downloading is quite common. Not saying it should be excused. But the story about the Women and Bankruptcy is just plain right wrong, she shouldn't of been fined so much despite downloading not legally.

Downloading music is basically killing your favourite band.
They don't get any money, and as a result they'll have to find other jobs.
My dad's a musician and the only money he gets from his job is in concerts and merchandise because no-one bothers to buy CDS any more.

I only do it if I am desperate to have a song on my ipod and there is a good quality one on Limewire. If not the songs goes on a big list and I save up to buy the songs from itunes.

I think its okay to do it and celebs arnt desperate for money as they already have plenty of money in the bank.

i always illegaly download an album before buying it because I don't want buy it then not like it. I'll download it, listen to it a few times and if I like it i'll go and buy it.

But when you say they have plenty, they won't no longer if you carry on downloading.
