Your not supposed to do you it but physically you can do it , however I cant really see anyone buying them really, I havent paid for a online song in my whole 15 odd years online Why would you not pay for a song in mp3 format? Would you also go into a shop and take a CD for free? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.megaleecher.net/uploads/piracy-is-theft.jpg)

plus i think selling copied cd's is a thing of the past as most people now download/purchase via itunes and not like it used to be years ago where there was a massive demand for copied cds

Yes it is illegal. The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 is what makes this illegal. And don't get started about the "backup copies" section of this Act, as this is not referring to making backup copies of games, DVDs, CDs, etc.
For those who think it isn't theft... it is. The diagram trying to justify piracy is wrong, as piracy is intellectual property theft, whereas stealing a physical CD is your run of the mill theft. Theft is theft.
It is quite right that you are purchasing a licence to listen or play the music. You cannot sell this licence as it isn't yours, therefore you cannot legally sell the digital copy of the song.

Theft is theft. Oh, there was me thinking it was copywrite infringement and that's why when people are stupid and don't know how to share without getting caught they get charged with COPYWRITE INFRINGEMENT and not 'intellectual property theft'. ![[Linked Image]](http://magnetowasright.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/boostinsales.jpg)

Trading standards will see things differently if you try and sell music that isn't yours. They actively attend car boot sales and confiscate and prosecute anybody doing it.
I've illegally downloaded a ton of music, but I've also spent thousands in the past 20 years on CD's and vinyl.

I would have thought he'd have trouble finding someone to buy them in the first place. Anyone that buys music will buy it from iTunes or wherever, people that pirate music wouldn't spend money anyway. Why would people buy pirated tracks? Confuses me, but then I don't understand how the market for CD's or DVD's is alive in this day and age so ..

Copyright (not Copywrite) infringement = intellectual property theft.
Intellectual property includes copyright, trade marks, designs, patents, etc...
