It is illegal to download any copyrighted material without reimbursing the copyright owner.

Torrents are illegal and if you download a bad torrent file it can give you viruses. I ruined my computer that way. You have to use trusted sites but they are hard to find. I would stick to iTunes.

Torrents themselves are not illegal, it's the contents. You can still get caught using torrents, and there is a high risk of viruses. Just be careful with them.
