Illegal?  Quite possibly, NOT.

I'm just curious as to what some people think.

If I borrow a friend's store bought dvd and just forget to return it to him and months go by and he forgets about it.  One day I mention I have it and he says "it's cool" or "just get it to me whenever you can no worries" or "just take it, i've seen it,"  that's legitimate right? The authorities and MPAA aren't gonna come in and bust down my door for borrowing a friend's dvd! Then,  I've seen a movie I didn't have to pay for.  AGAIN, seen a movie, I DIDN'T pay for...

Now if a friend of mine let's me borrow (share) his music files from his computer or let's other people have access to what he's bought online or in stores, why is it illegal for him to share it or let people get it from him when it's hypothetically the same situation as above?  This might get complicated, but try not to stretch it too far ya know?  Millions of people share things with eachother without ever PURCHASING the product, ect.  

Why is downloading music that could only have been  purchased from somewhere, illegal?  Yes we're not paying for it, but we use it as it's meant to be used and if willing share (let borrow) other people to do the same.  Possibly, one mans junk, is another man's treasure...if i don't need it, why can't i give it away?  That's what Goodwill stores are for and they make money off what we give them, FOR FREE! LOL.

This might get rough, but I like to hear other's opinions...it intrigues me :)
