I have downloaded before but I was just wondering if anybody else feels guilty about it. My dad hates it because he could get in trouble for it ( im a minor) and my mom doesnt care. Can someone please explain the legality of it and why/why not I should.should not be feeling this way? Also do a lot of people get caught for dowloading?
 
its not so much the downloading that u get in trouble for its copying and selling that ther more bothered about and no i dont feel uilty the singers get enouh money as it is
 
bit torrents are share sites,so its not illegal,someone somwhere in the world uploads a music album onto a torrent site,people from elsewhere download it and also seed back up for others to share.
ido it all the time,dont feel bad,millions of people use bit torrents.chill hunny and happy downloading.
 
People are caught for downloading music and copyright material every day.

The main reasons why people are caught downloading is that there Internet Service Provider is alerted to the fact that large amounts of data are being download. The ISP may then notify the authorities.

There are a number of organisations set up, such as FACT (The Federation Against Copyright Theft). These organisations rely on public tip-offs.

The laws on downloading music are different in each country. In the United States, The U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act is one of the main pieces of legislation governing copyright theft.
