I think it's funny that the only people who are in the media for getting caught illegally downloading music are kids who download a few songs to put on their iPod and not the "real pirates" who make money doing it. I used to illegally download a lot a few years ago but I have stopped because I always had pc spyware and virus issues. There are so many streaming sites that if I want to listen a particular song then I just stream it. Furthermore, with cell phones becoming more of a media device with internet capability, the need for an iPod or mp3 player will start to decline.
