Hello there.

It's already illegal.

It IS illegal.  And anyone sharing or taking doesn't have permission.  No one has permission.  That's the fun of downloading:  you can break the law and not get caught.

Ditto.
But I joined one of those MP3 sites where you pay for them...and they're official.
It's a good site, I've had no problem with it...and the good thing is...it's perfectly LEGAL.
Downloading without paying is illigal.

In Canada we're already paying fees in our taxes that help pay for the creation of CDs, I believe, or something along those lines, so we're already paying artists for trying to sell their music in our country. Therefore, it is not illegal, in Canada, to download music. Programs like Photoshop and Word are definitely illegal to download, though.

Most musicians are not hurt by downloading music, it's the record executives who get all the money. Musicians get maybe 1% of each CD sold. I say boycot the RIAA, an organization of greed.

In order to make it through the world one needs some insanity.

That reminds of a topic we had a while ago... and a post I made in that topic.

Ah, there are two.  this and this.

Some of that is outdated, but most of it holds true.
