Information on torrents to a torrent naive person please! I need more tunes!

I have never thought of it as theft because if I did not get the music for free, I would never buy the album... opps do they still make them? I meant CD. As a matter of facts I still have about 100 cassetes, last one I bought before I was married 25 years ago. I have never bought a CD for music. I listen to music on the radio for free or what I get of internet for free.

EDIT: Well I guess I have stolen music... when my kids freinds come over with CDs I say, "Can I listen to that for a little bit?" and I quickly copy it... or I did a few years ago. Can you still copy music CDs? I know movie DVDs don't anymore...
