That depends on how you look at it. If the material is copy righted, most people would say that's the end of the story but its not.

In Canada ( and under most international trade laws) it is illegal to seed ( supply) copyrighted material, since receiving the movie is on the borderlines due to the need to prove intent ( which can be difficult or easy depending on the amount of information collected) making it much harder to prove in court. That's not to say its not illegal to download movies, its just neither here nor there since they only prosecute up loaders since they are the ones doing the copying.

It also depends on the type of copyright ( legal questions have so many angles) some copyrights depend on the copy you receive, though this is typically much less common.

Is it illegal to download muisc?

no p2p downloading is legal, downloading someone else purchased CDs is legal. Legal downloading is when you purchase the music but, remember just because you have purchased the music does not mean you can share it. Off the air recordings from the radio, TV is legal providing you do not sell them. Recording movies or music from cable is legal also providing you do not sell them. Can you share the movies and music you record from cable, the answer is yes. Is it legal to record off the internet from a radio station, I would believe that it would be but not yet approved or not approved.
