Just to add on to what was already said--if you're Canadian, and if I understand my laws correctly, you can legally download mp3's, video, etc. You cannot legally share it, however.
And you can expect that law to change sooner rather than later, or at least that's my guess.
The reason (again, I'm no law expert so take what I say with a grain of salt, or several) that it is currently legal is that there is an added surcharge on the CDs that you purchase in stores, which goes towards the artists or recording companies or . . . something.
You might want to double check these laws though, if it's something you're concerned about, because it's been awhile since I looked into them.

Like the other two said, the program is legal. There is nothing illegal about the idea of peer to peer file sharing. Its only when this type of file transfer is used to transmit files that are copyrighted that it becomes illegal. Really its the same principle if u use a dvd burner to copy movies and pass them on to others. Nothing illegal about the DVD burner, only the way it is used in that case.
