I'm trying to figure out a problem with my I-Tunes account and am getting no help after 8pm. My account shows a purchase at 5:56 today but no one was home. I live in ND being central time. When you purchase songs from the I-Tunes store and the history tab shows the time:
No matter what you will end up breaking the law... with itunes and other DRM music, its yours, but if your computer crashes or choose to upgrade, you end up breaking the law to do it, and chances are you wont be 100% successful either. so steal 'em them to begin with and you will have a more reliable music library, that won't cause you any more trouble!
Well, from what I understand, once you own a copy of something, it is NOT illegal (aka, it IS LEGAL) to download it, because you are obtaining something for which you already have the rights to in another form.
So if you own a DVD of say, The Dark Knight, and you go and torrent a copy of it, that is legal because you are just obtaining something you already have in a different format (aka, in a WMV rather than DVD).
However, if you go and download Transformers and do not own any (legal) copy of it, that is illegal.
So theoretically if you bought it iTunes song you can download the same song without risk.
