legal or not? im confused
 

hi,
ive been reading other peoples threads and im still confused, why are some files illegal to download. well, i always thought the answer was because they were copywrited. ive never seen a song or album that isnt copywritted. so what the heck can you download legally. i really want to download without being suid. i know there isnt a great cance of getting caught, but if a 12yr. girl got cought, than who are we kidding saying we have less a chance. please respond to this message. i am thankful for your time.
