Can I legally download music from torrent if I had previously owned the same CD I'm downloading?

NO,\nIf you own the CD and you paid for it then you can legally acquire backup copies of the songs on that CD.  However, if you throw away that CD then you have given up ownership and you no longer have the right to download backup versions of the songs on that CD since you have no proof that you owned those songs in a previous format.

Actually, purchasing the CD grants you a use license that extends to your immediate family, friends, etc.  You may legally buy a CD, copy a song, and give it to, say, your sister, or your friend.  You cannot, however, post them on the net for people unknown to you to download.  There are several recent federal court cases attempting to decide where to draw the line between the copyright holder's rights and your own usage rights granted by your license.  Example:  if I don't know you, but agree to meet you on the street to exchange ripped music, are we "friends."  Are we "friends" once we've met?  \n\nYour specific question is difficult to answer.  If you purchased the CD's, you can certainly keep the copies on the computer if you threw the CD's away.  However, (and I'm only speculating here) if you sell the CD's, you may have in fact sold the usage rights with them.  Wish I had something more concrete for you!

Pirated CD's. I get them near my house for Rs. 10. Can I get arrested for that?

You cannot unless there is a free video or song available.\n\nDownloading free music can lead to piracy and it is against the law.

if you own the original cd or have an original right (from itunes and the likes) it is no piracy to have them as an mp3 in your mp3 player. In short, if at one given time you paid for it (or got is as a gift), its ok. however Don't sell or share them, because that is an infringement on the copyright.

You cant since Bit Torrent doesnt download consecutive parts, it downloads parts it can find at the moment, and it only assembels parts after fully downloaded!

Can you be sued...YES.  Will you be sued, probably not.  Especially as you are "listening and deleting".  The music industry is mainly after those who are file sharing songs without paying the cost of the production for the album/CD they were on originally.

Yes, both are true, it is legal as well as illegal, legal on the sense that, it is filesharing and filesharing is not a crime, illegal on the sense that, you are sharing the stuff which are you not supposed to share.\nThe best way is to keep all the downloaded stuff to another destination other than your shared folder, cuz when YOU give some content, then YOU are violating the law, but when you are downloading it, you are not violating the law, cuz stuffs like music can be given but not shared. Confused right???\nDont worry, just remember that keep all your downloaded stuff away from the shared folder, so that others canot take it.\nCHEERS!!!

I checked the site and it seems fine. Just be careful when downloading adn always check the file before you do download it. Sometimes they show you what is inside the torrent you are about to download. Also, have antivirus ready.\n\nIf you are downloading single music files, I suggest you use LimeWire or some other downloading software. Eh, depends on you. Just my two cents.\n\nHere are some other torrent sites:\nhttp://www.torrentspy.com\nhttp://www.isohunt.com\n*Im not promoting illegal downloading... Just stating the obvious.

Yes if the files you are copying are copyrighted and you do not have the right to copy them.

It depends on the return terms for that company.  Many times, software downloaded directly to a computer can not be returned.  If you ordered a CD and it you didn't open it, you may be entitled to a return/exchange.  If you opened it, you pretty much have no chance of a return, only an exchange for the same product.

No. Burning CD's is not legal unless you have written permission from the label.  The exception is if you are creating a compilation CD for your personal use from CD's that you already own.  The same is true of movies and books. These are all forms of intellectual property\n\nWhen you illegaly copy intellectual property you are breaking copyright laws by stealing from the creators of those works.  Depending on the level of the offense you could theoretically be sued, fined or sent to prison for violating copyright laws.

It is only illegal if you are downloading things that you do not own.  For instance, say you have a DVD ofa movie that was scratched and no longer works properly.  You can download the same movie from a "torrent site" or a P2P network and it wouldn't be against the law because you have already bought the right to own the movie.  However, if you do not own the movie, then it is copyright infringement and you could be fined thousands of dollars.  That is, of course, if they catch you

bitcomet.com  download the program then you will dowload the entire CD.  if you dont want all of the tracks, then uncheck the ones you dont want to dowload.  its really really easy.

ive heard you you get caught burning music from a cd off lime wire or any other site like that they could come take the stuff you own \nyep and be charged thousands of dollars per file according to the law. On copyrighted stuff that is.\nIt becomes illegal once you are caught.\nIt's not against the law to burn stolen music to a CD. It is against the law to possess, distribute or conspire to distribute stolen works.

only if you get it legaly, but that still isn't 100% great quality, safest way is cd's or something legal-iTunes is great.
