Well, downloading off of music sites that aren't directly linked to the publisher itself is illegal, too.
Of course, I'm not gonna play innocent. I download music a lot. But the way I see it, if I like a song from an artist, cool. If I find more than two songs I like from one artist on an album, I figure it's only fair that I buy that album so I can support the artist. Just my little pattern of support I have.
