Theoretically speaking, downloading of any copyrighted materials is illegal, whether if the link comes from Blogspot or any torrent sites. (That is unless there's explicit mutual agreement between the site and the producer of the works) The fines are hefty if you get caught.

You can legally download music, movies, and software which you have purchased a license for. As an example, if you go to Symantec.com and buy their software online you can download it to your computer. No problem. Downloading pirated material and porn is a different matter. Are you familiar with Singapore's quaint custom of flogging offenders with a cane? I hear it is quite ghastly.

You want to download without worries about any legal action? Sure, pay for it; e.g. buy from Apple iTunes and download with no worries about any legal action.

yes, frankly speaking nobody will raid your house to check for copyright infrightment. remember : do not share or distribute even your closiest friends.
