Is downloading files using a peer to peer program illegal?

my friend uses some rocket p2p program but I don't know if the music is legal. and says that many people now use it. I checked online but all i found is that the internet should be free and that is why there is peer to peer software. thank you.

  • it is illegal but none can do nothing to you if u keep it for yourself (the mp3s)

  • Your brother is actual. Peer-to-peer report sharing utility like Limewire and BitTorrent is criminal. utilising it to characteristic or acquire copyright secure media - track, video clips, photos, utility - without the copyright holder's consent is against the regulation on account that's theft.

  • It seems to be. WinMix disappeared over night. Napster had to start charging. Limewire seems a little unstable. The American govt. decided about Napster so all cases in our courts will follow that precedent.

  • Most file sharing is illegal.

    There are some public domain files, but 99% of it is stealing.

    I refuse to participate in that.

    Do you work for free?

    Why should the artists?

  • best answer,

    dear member,

    its legal but so danger u will b affected with the Viruses Spywares And lots of Danger Trojans and Adware and its free to use

    thankU

  • its legal as long as you don't download copyrighted music, at which point it becomes illegal

    hell, i doubt anyone is gonna fine/sue you, but if you have a guilty conscious, use itunes
