Certainly it's illegal to download copyrighted material. Whether it's a civil or a criminal offence depends on the circumstances, but it's unquestionably illegal. Both the RIAA in the US and the British equivalent, the BPI, have prosecuted downloaders of music, and downloading books is no less illegal.
