Everyone downloads & listens to music but recently there is a lot of questions about what is the legal ways of downloading and reproducing this exciting media. It is estimated that in every street in the UK, someone is illegally copying music, video or DVD. The reason for it being illegal is that most music is subject to copyright. It is fine to create your own CD's as long as it is for personal use and not being redistributed online or offline, However if you are sending or downloading music to someone else you are breaking the law and risk getting arrested if caught. The music industry takes this very seriously and we strongly recommend using only licensed digital download sites to get your music. For example the iTunes Music Store.
