It is perfectly legitimate to download backups of music, games and videos you have legitimately bought. Provided it is simply for backup as opposed to making the odd 20 copies for mates at work and a couple of dozen for friends at the pub.

If for example you bought a new music cd and wanted a copy in MP3 on your MP3 player you could download an MP3 version of it and copy it straight onto your player, as opposed to converting the original cd on your computer.

Downloading music games and videos is not in itself a crime nor is possession of downloaded material, its intentions, how long you have had the download and if you have actually used it in an illegal way.
