Personally I don't get it. Why download, when the quality's cack, and the better product isn't much more expensive, and is legal! Someone explain it...
Erm becasue you only want 1 or 2 tracks from the album and don't want to pay the £14.99 for the whole thing. I'm not too sure where the isn't much more expensive bit comes from the music companies have been keeping CD prices artifiailly high for some time now.

I agree that its Illegal acording to the laws that the music companies spent a fair wack of the profits from these high priced CD's on lobbying the governments to impliment and as a result the music comapnies are allowed to sepnd even more of the profits from these high priced CD's on suing you for any money you haven't spent with them.

I still can't believe that an Global industry thinks that the best solution it can come up with is to sue its customers. There are other methods like providing a resonably priced alternative (It took Apple to provide that and they can only do it because they're making the money on the Ipod's).
