    Not sure if any of you where listening to Lamaq on Radio1 last night but he had a bit on MP3 downloading, and the thing I didn't know was its not criminally illegal to download, as under the computer misuse act contents of a hard drive is not owned. But it is commercially against the law this means that you can be taken to court by the owners of the copyright.

    As yet this has not happened and isn't expected to happen in the UK.

    It all boils down to you can be arrested and chucked in jail for distributing or using MP3's on you computer.

    It depends. The people that get arrested are the people that make pirate CDs and sell them on. They are the people that need to be caught and fined.
