No, it's not "ok" to download the files, whether you share/sell them or not. It's stealing either way. In the UK you are not legally allowed to copy a bought CD to a cassette (for example) and the same applies to downloading music.

However, it's more accepted that downloading a track or two will happen and they only tend to go after the prolific uploaders. But that doesn't mean you won't get caught. Your IP can be traced every time you're using a P2P application.
