If the song that you have downloaded was illegally downloaded, otherwise it should be fine. UNLESS you share it on a site such as Limewire, where there music is all downloaded illegally or any other website as such.
It is only illegal if you got it without paying for it (eg. iTunes) and then you gave it away for free. It is legal if you payed for it and are licenced to let other people pay for it.
It Shouldn't
No, because it is considered "sharing" music.
NO! Some are illegal! You should just download music off of cds.
You should not use limewire, since it is an illegal music sharing website.
no its not illegal
many people say its illegal because you have not purchased it. but what its not technically downloading free music. its downloading the audio from a video. sharing music is illegal, but i dont see anything illegal about saving audio from a video
limewire cannot be illegal, because its sharing music and the people arent making profit off of it. so and anyway. Its not illegal unless you get caught. xD
Yup. It's file sharing so it's just as illegal as using limewire to download music. But the chances of being caught are very slim.
File Sharing networks are not all illegal. Many companys use File Sharing to get stuff to there employees easier. When people use them to give other people music on the internet without paying than it is illegal.
As with any peer to peer (p2p) file sharing software the software itself is not illegal and can be used for legal purposes. However the sharing of copyright files (such as music, movies and games) is illegal. If you would normally pay for something in a store but you are downloading it without paying for it you are stealing it; which is illegal.
Bottom line: yes, though it may be less likely than on an illegal music sharing site.
any file sharing of copyrighted music is illegal, downloading to your ipod makes it no more or less so. Unless the music is set for open distribution by the record company, you did not buy the music therefore it is copyright infringement
