I'm thinking a high percentage of people have done something illegal. I'm not talking about murder or rape (though I wouldnt be suprised if some of you have committed arson) but small, petty crimes.
Perhaps you werent even aware you were committing a crime or you feel what you've done shouldnt be illegal in the first place.
Lets have a quick run down to confirm whether some things you might have done, are actually illegal or not. And no this is not a list of things I've done. (well not all of them)
Is it illegal to download copyrighted songs, movies and TV shows?
Is it illegal to park in a disabled space?
Is it illegal to steal traffic cones and wear them as a hat?
Is it illegal to prank call the emergency numbers?
Is it illegal to have sexual intercourse with livestock?
Is it illegal to park infront of somebodys driveway?
Is it illegal to film your sister in the shower?
Is it considered rape if you have sex with a drunk woman?
Is it illegal to pay someone 'cash in hand' to avoid taxes?
Is it illegal to litter?
Is it illegal for women to walk around topless in town?
Is it illegal to use someone elses WIFI connection?
Is it illegal to burn flags?
I think that'll do for now =/

No need to apologise to me, mister -- I'm not judging anyone.
As for downloading though, I suppose you are technically stealing as it doesn't cost you anything to get something to keep which you'd have to buy off something like iTunes

Technically it still is because you can buy music videos (they go for £1.89 a pop on iTunes) and to watch it on a music channel you'll have paid for a TV license and presumably a satellite/cable subscription.
Sorry!

So by that logic, does that make watching a video on YouTube illegal?
