Well actually. Selling bootlegs is illegal. There are many shops that sell bootleg CDs. Music, games, DVDs...etc. I once remember where I usually buy my games, there was a bust. Many stores had their CDs thrown out in the trash. It was like HUGE stacks of CDs. Their were back to business soon enough. But for example, people don't get to go to jail for buying this stuff.

As for downloading, you can do it all you like too. I once remember asking my ISP for help. Since my connection was a little slow. And he asked if I had Kazaa turned on. Nobody cares. They might make some laws against this. But I doubt that will be soon. Mostly, people who get busted selling bootleg CDs are the ones that sell porn and stuff like that.
