It's easy to download free music. It's easy to surf Torrent for movies instead of paying to go to the theatres and shell fifteen dollars for bottomless popcorn. But hear me out... Downloading someone's intellectual propterty illegally is immoral. It's easy- no one's arguing that. But is taking an unnecessary risk, leaving yourself susceptible to Trojan viruses, allowing some government agency somewhere to track your illegal activity (some students have actually gotten kicked out of Ivy League schools for downloading music...) is it worth saving a dollar? It's just money! You can put a price on a song, but you can't put a price on integrity. So do the right thing and download/upload your music legally. Let's be honest... You've been lucky up until now. Your computer might not have a virus despite all of your illegal downloads. But don't discount tomorrow. There will always be some hacker out there trying to figure out a way to screw over the people who play by the rules. They'll get you eventually...
