Downloading music from peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is illegal because it is usually done without the permission of the copyright holders. When you download music from P2P networks, you are essentially making unauthorized copies of the music, which is a violation of copyright law. Copyright holders have the exclusive right to control the reproduction and distribution of their work, so downloading music without their permission is considered copyright infringement. Additionally, downloading music from P2P networks can also expose you to malware and viruses, as these networks are often used by cybercriminals to distribute malicious software.
