Technically, yes. Piracy is a federal offense and violates many acts.
However, it is very time-consuming and expensive to track down every single person who has pirated music or video.
This, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, makes it okay to do!
If you pirate on a regular basis or pirate a large amount of copyrighted content, and the police have knowledge of this, they have the right take authoritave action.
I hate to sound like goody-two-shoes, but piracy is bad. Many artists put time and effort into making their content. Just listen to it on a media platform or just buy it.
That 90's commercial about piracy is really stupid btw.
