Default Downloading illegally

With that big heated debate we just had in Graphics, I think a debate should be made.

What are you opinions on the following being downloaded/copyrighted illegally:

Computer operating systems
Computer software
Computer Games
Copyright images
Console games
Television progammess
Radio programmes
Films
Music Videos
Books

Is it right? Wrong?
What can we do to stop it?
Should it be made legal?

It will never be made legal, because the music industry lose so much money over it.

I'm in two mindas about it.

In one hand i think that the musicians have a right to get the money for people actully buying it. But, on the other hand, why is it illegal to download but not illegal to record off the radio? Just seems rather silly.

I think its legal to make copies of things on the radio because of the low quality of recording. Its high quality recordings that are illegal.

But, with CD recorders coming in now people are able to record of the radio perfectly.

I think we should expand the debate about downloading Illegally. The list should include:

Computer operating systems
Computer software
Computer Games
Copyright images
Console games
Television progammess
Radio programmes
Films
Music Videos
Books

basically anything that has copyright.

I think their main interests are against the people who share music. If you download it, do you move it out of your shared folder? If you do, then noone else can access it.

Yes, I move it, and I don't sell it on either. I move it into "My Music" and I listen to it on my pc.

Sometimes I burn it to disc for the car.

The reason I have no moral objection to doing what I do is that I'm so tight that I wouldn't go out and buy the CD anyway. I'd just listen to Radio 1 in the car if I didn't have the music that I have, and I would just listen to stuff online when I'm at the computer. So basically, the music industry isn't losing anything because of my activities. I wouldn't buy it anyway.

I'm not against it, as I download all the time. I download TV shows, music, and once I even downloaded a movie. It's wrong, I know. I download them using a legal programme, so I doesn't really bother me.

I'm not that bothered with it actually. Even though my parents have never allowed me to download Limewire, to then download music and stuff, I don't have a problem with people who do. I know loads of people who download stuff illeagaly through sites and stuff, it's their choice. My friends do send me music that they have downloaded though, so that's good!

Nope. I think all non-paying downloading systems are illegal.
Otherwise, they'd be no point of buying stuff would there?

I don't really care, if i download something whether it's illegal or not and i like what i have downloaded... eight times out of ten i'll go out and buy that album, dvd, game etc.

If your buying an album you want to know if its a one hit wonder or an album of hits, and the internet is the best way for that, to make it illegal would be stupid and would be kicking themselves in the knackers.
