Question about downloading music

If I buy a DVD of lets say, The Lion King. And then I want to listen to the Circle Of Life song from that movie. Will it be illegal to download it for free even if I have bought the DVD? Do I have to buy the soundtrack?

didnt i already post a thread about this kinda thing ?

Ethically I think it's fair.

Technically there is a Lion King OST that you can buy.

I'd say no, as long as you do not plan to distribute the song to others for free or for a price. Also, I don't think the FBI is going to be knocking at your door for one song....

Quoted for truth.I also think if you have a game disc and it breaks it's fair to download it. I feel this also applies for DVDs."

So that would apply to VHS tapes as well right? Cause Id love to download some movies I had on VHS that don't work anymore."

It's still illegal, but morally I would not feel bad.

*cough*  HERE IS MY THREAD ON THIS ALREADY

"If I buy a DVD of lets say, The Lion King. And then I want to listen to the Circle Of Life song from that movie. Will it be illegal to download it for free even if I have bought the DVD? Do I have to buy the soundtrack?

I thought that since I bought the movie I also kinda bought the soundtrack. Hmmm, not really sure what to think...

It is illegal and usually that means it's immoral as well, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone that much. Downloading music is so widespread now, especially with younger people, I don't know if it's going to be stoppable at all, even though that would be great for record companies.

Go ahead.  I've heard that record companies are giving up on suing people in hopes of creating a new and better business model.  So download away! 

As far as I can remember, downloading music for free is alright - provided you are not selling it or passing it on. As long as you keep the music for yourself, it seems to be alright.
