I have only ever downloaded something, possibly illegally. I don’t know if it was but it was the only way I could get 2 albums by The Peanuts. And before you ask I will only say that I doubt that any of you have not heard at least one of their songs in your life.
The Japanese version of the Beatles?
Is that a guess?
Merely an observation.
Once upon a time, cassette recorders connected to steroes, or even sitting next to them, allowed people to record their favorite songs off of records onto tape, to play in the car, for example.
Then, VCR recorders connected to TVs and other VCRs allowed people to record their favorite shows and even movies that they had rented.
Were we all criminals? Did anyone not engage in these activities?
I don’t have the answer to that question, by the way. Were we all stealing copyrighted material?
If the courts ruled that private recording for private use and enjoyment was OK, like photocopying a short story from a book, then why now the fuss over music download sites?

Camillo Golgi, a physician who made breakthroughs in the study of the human nervous system, and who is commemorated in the names of several structures and phenomena in human anatomy, was born July 7, 1843, in Corteno, in Italy. Corteno has since been renamed Corteno Golgi in his honor.
