Nearly two thirds of 14- to 24-year-olds illegally download music over peer-to-peer (p2p) networks, says UK Music.

According to research, which was carried out by the University of Hertfordshire on behalf of the music body, 75 percent of teens also admitted to sending digital music files by e-mail, Bluetooth, Skype, or MSN to friends and family, while 86 percent revealed that had copied CDs for friends.

UK Music also said that 68 percent of those surveyed said they listen to music on their computer and on average 14- to 24-year-olds have more than 8000 tracks on their PCs. Despite the recent popularity of music-streaming sites such as Spotify, 78 percent said they wouldn't pay for a music-streaming service.

If you guys want download music, don't use p2p (limewire, bittorrent etc.) they are favourite spot for hackers/malware writers to attack apart from social networks.

its legal to back-up your own discs, as long as you own the original. As its your property, no one can tell you what you can and can not do with that, once you have paid the full price, and not distributing copies of it.

i do it all the time, Rip my Dvds/Music Cds to my media PC for 2 reasons
1. to keep my Discs in brand new condition
2. because am to lazy to get up and put disc in when i can just double click it LOL Banner

Not in the UK. Legally, you are only allowed songs on your computer if you bought them digitally.

A thief by any other name is still a thief.
