Downloading music from the internet should not be illegal. Artists and their labels make plenty of money off of concerts, tshirts, etc, losing a few extra dollars because of someone downloaded a song instead of buying it will not break them. Odds are, the people downloading the music had no intention of ever buying the CD in the first place. They downloaded it because it was available to them, if it wasn't, they would have never bought it and the artist would be missing that extra dollar and a possible new fan
