I download a lot of music, but most of it I delete after a couple listens. The stuff that I keep on my iPod I own legally, and if I really like something I do buy it (not often, most music bores me). This doesn't make it legal of course.

Same here. Only kept a couple of boots that are not to be found for sale though, unless you want to see me feeding black market.

I used to buy a bunch of bootleg CDs 15 years ago (unreleased music, live performance), so it sure makes me feel better to DL them for free and check the quality for I decide to keep it or not.

I don't DL films nor anything. It happened to me once: about 6 or 7 film during one week and never did it again - time consumming. I downloaded them right on my USB and watched them on my TV.

Maybe there are some illegal downloads from me just for documentation. And one friend working into a tv production said they were "allowed" to download all kind of stuff, and that it was not considered as illegal if it was used for documentation (technicians, artists).

...

Anyway, what happens here any one could have predicted it since back in 2000 ! I don't think I am more a clairvoyant than anybody else.
