In all technicality it does appear to be.

ETA:  Unless you go to iTunes or one of the other legit sites where you are buying a license to the music.

In my day we used to walk uphill both ways in the snow to the store and buy records and we grateful.  Now you youngin's complain about having to pay for downloads.

Downloading MP3's from P2P sites and the like is illegal.

Buying downloads from iTunes/Napster/WalMart Downloads is legal.

Probably depends if the song encoded in the MP3 is protected by right of copy and if that is true, THEN if depends on if the owner of the right of copy has given you permission to posses said copy.

Send the BATEF a Form4 for the mp3.. see what they do.
