The exclusive rights conferred on a copyright holder are to copy, alter, distribute, and perform/display the work, or authorize others to do so. Downloading constitutes making a copy, so doing so without permission is infringing the rights of the copyright holder. Infringement is punishable by fines, and in extreme cases, jail.
