Actually, saving data from a publicly available website can indeed be illegal. What is a music file but data? An ebook is data. And you can indeed be sued for downloading copyrighted material. You can also lose your right to access the internet...sure hope your town has more than one internet provider in case you get banned for downloading copyrighted material.
Just google Napster and the RIAA
