Owning a legally purchased & licensed gun is legal but it can be used illegally as in a murder or robbery.

Owning a legally purchased, licensed, taxed and insured car is legal but it can be used illegally as in speeding etc.

Owning a legally purchased and downloaded MP3 is legal,but it could be used illegally as in infringing noise regulations.

Owning an unpurchased, downloaded MP3 is legal if the MP3 is freeware.

In all other cases owning the MP3 is illegal because it either infringes copyright or is theft, both of which leave you open to legal action.

If you are so confident that it isn't illegal then e-mail one of the record companies and admit downloading MP3s of their songs and see what happens.
