Music downloading is an entirely different issue and should not muddy the waters of a discussion regarding the use of licensed products in a non-commercial environment. People have been prosecuted for knowingly downloading music illegally. It is not the same thing as purchasing licensed fabric and then producing something that may or may not be sold.
