Downloading music from P2P (peer-to-peer) networks is illegal because it typically involves sharing copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder. This is a violation of copyright law, which protects the rights of the creators and owners of music. When individuals download music from P2P networks, they are essentially obtaining unauthorized copies of music for free, depriving artists and record labels of potential income. Additionally, downloading music from P2P networks can also expose users to viruses, malware, and other security risks.
