Just read an article on Fox News where 261 people were sued for DL'ing music from Kazaa. Being in the media profession now, I see the importance of respecting copyright law.

Also, being a part time musician, I can easily see the side of the music companies wanting to limit the extreme abuses in song copying today's technology allows.

Clearly DL'ing songs off the net is wrong and is an infringement on the various companies profits who promote their artists.

Are CD prices too high? Probably Yes. Does this give you the right to go steal the music from online somewhere? No. It does not.

So do the right thing, go buy the CD.
