That depends on rather you are downloading MP3 or the original format recorded
on the CD. In the latter case, you are getting as near perfect a recording as
possible. It can be reproduced a million times and not lose one bit.

Almost NOBODY downloads uncompressed music. Its just too unwieldly
with current bandwidths and tranfer protocols. Obviously you haven't
been downloading music (copyrighted or not) off the internet, LOL,
especially with a dial-up line.

I guess the important thing here is for everyone to follow their own
compass. Some people never exceed 55MPH on the freeway, most people
do it every day. I think its more a weakness of the law than that of
the majority of the population. Has something to do with federal
matching funds and states wanting the money but not wanting to enforce
the law.
