Illegal but they deserve it. Male, 34.

I don't do it myself, simply because I don't have broadband, and I like having CD jackets. But as far as illegality goes, I think it's almost akin to taking a picture of the Mona Lisa, blowing it up and framing it. If someone wants to see the original, they can go to the Louvre. Most people would prefer that over a copy anyway.

Anyway, it's been going on ever since they invented two-deck tape players. Maybe before that. People who don't have the money for an album get a copy from their friends. If the damn things didn't cost almost 20 bucks each, maybe more of us would buy from the store.
