You may download files with a Public release license, files you have paid for, your own files and files explicitally allowed to be downloaded.

To download any other files will be considered intellectual property piracy.

Well, as you may know music industries get money from the cds they top bands sell, and if you "share" your music with strangers you make them lose lots of cash.

If you really like a band or singer go to a store and get the legal record, your gonna help them make even more cds.

Whenever you download a file, especially from sites you don't know, there is always a risk that the file will contain a virus or a program that can damage your computer or corrupt and steal your information.

If you are going to engage in downloading files and/or opening email attachments, you should have a good Firewall and Anti-Virus program which is regularly updated with the latest virus and program updates. And make sure you keep your Windows Operating System and internet Browser up to date with the latest fixes and service packs.
