Apparently If you download too many youtube vids they fine you. I think it's a load of junk but what do you think? And if anyone has heard this before, well, yayzas!
However, you can go to jail for downloading music illegally.
Did you know that using programs such as BitTorrent or LimeWire is not illegal. It's classified as the same thing as burning someone a CD, which is completely legal. Someone is "giving" you the music, and not selling it to you. If you pay for the music, and none of the profit goes to the artist, then it is illegal.
