Yes, it is illegal. You could, if caught, be forced to pay very heavy fines.

Here's how it works: You purchase a CD - in the purchase price is included a personal license to you and you alone to enjoy the music content of this CD. This license does not allow you to copy the CD and/or distribute it to anyone else. To do so, is depriving those who recorded the music in the first place of revenue (their sole method of income perhaps) and is morally wrong. What's to prevent those to whom you give an illegal copy to from re-copying it and distributing even more copies? Eventually the market is flooded with illegal copies, which gets back to the people who recorded it, they start tracking it down and eventually they (and the law) will catch up to you and it will get really sticky.

Spend the extra few bucks now for your own copies - paying the penalty of up to several million dollars later just isn't worth the risk.

How do you upload from iTunes to soundcloud?

Apple iTunes has a feature which enables users to upload their music file to the apple store. While uploading, it checks to see if the song has been uploaded to other stores. If it finds the song in any other digital download store, then it will not allow you to upload the song. There is a simple way to upload your song to iTunes. Just take the new file and rename it to the same name as the old file. This will make iTunes think that it is a completely new file.

Not ever.You never have to download iTunes. Even if you buy an Ipod (The MP3 player that goes with and works with iTunes), you still don't have to download iTunes. If you wanted to, you could just have the iPod with no music on it, although I do recommend downloading iTunes if yo purchase any type of iPod (There are several diffrent kinds. Ex: iPod Shuffle, iPod Mini, etc.) You can download iTunes at the following link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
