Completely false, your utilization of the property without paying for it is illegal. If you already own the music and are obtaining a copy in the digital domain that is not illegal. For example, being a hip hop DJ I have 3000+ records. It is a pita to burn them to all to cd so I usually use a site to download them because I already own the "license" to the music. One might argue that if you download it but don't listen to it that you have broken the law, but why would you do that. Look, artists deserve to get paid for their work
