Well, you can't download a real item such as a CD off the internet, but if you are talking about a music CD file, then: It depends on if that music you downloaded is copyrighted. If what you download is copyrighted, then it was illegal to download that music off the Internet in the first place (unless you bought it from a place like www.last.fm or iTunes Store). If what you bought did have copyright, then it is also illegal to sell that music for profit. But, if what you bought didn't have copyright (called freeware), then it is legal to do so.

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.
