Actually, you're very wrong there. Downloading music is legal, uploading, however, is not.

If you are found with drugs, you can't be prosecuted. It is the supplier that has broken the law.

totally not true. both are illegal when it comes to copyrighted works.

edit - just to clear that up, using your drugs anology, you will be prosecuted for possession of drugs, although there will be harsher penalties for a supplier of drugs than a drug user.

Uploading is illegal, downloading is not.

download isn&#39;t illegal actually its when the copyright has been f*cked with is when its illegal you can rip your own Cd&#39;s they you bought to mp3 thats not illegal its sharing the copyright material that is.

yes the argument is always said that it isn&#39;t illegal unless you sell it and make money out of it but who knows really

...your all wrong, both downloading and uploading are legal.
no bill has been passed to prohibit the use of programs such as Kazaa, Kazaa++ or Grokster. although the copyright orginazations are trying hard too pass such a bill before congress.

Downloading and uploading are basically legal ...true

but if you download and upload copyrighted data it is ilegal because you violate copyright laws.
