1. Ever read Pappillion?
All he did was record a House of Pain song of an AM station.

Otherwise you'd be aware that the RIAA actually has served lawsuits against downloaders whom they were able to track down.

4. There's always been a risk involved
mainly - that the disk jockey will cut in and start blabbering way before the song ends.

5. Many of the all-time great blues songs are about recording songs off radio
One in particular by “Blind” Lemmon Jefferson…

“I'll be locked here in this cell
Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time
I wish I’d not recorded from that radio show.”
