What about TV shows? I'm sure they technically fall within the same domain as any other intellectual property, but you could consider that either a) they're free, in that they're paid for by advertisers, or b) we've already paid a blanket license in our cable bill for access to them. (If I've paid for a license to have a copy of music, I can make copies for my own enjoyment. Similarly, if I have a given album on, say, cassette and I download an mp3 copy, that's not considered illegal, because I've already purchased the license.)
