I myself love a good song and as the majority of people, i have downloaded songs off the internet in the past. What i have recently found out is rather shocking. File-Sharing, is illegal. And if you download any song, thats fine, but it must be deleted within 24 hours. Is that all? Or anything else i should know about?

I'll just quote myself:-
Anyways, its completely legal to dl copyrighted music in Canada. The Supreme Court there has ruled that uploading music on a website is nothing but creating a personal backup on the net which co-incidentially can be accessed by other people. Look through all the results that the link below displays.

Surely some sort of Law enforcement keeps an eye on these things.
