Yes, it's still copyright infringement. Even looking past the fact that you are downloading the copyrighted material which is illegal even if you own the cd you will also be sharing that material with other users. That's what can really get you in trouble. If you must steal don't help other people steal at the same time. I even remember reading a few months back one of the music industry people said they think ripping your own cd's to your itunes library is copyright infringement. Probably because they want you to buy the songs in the new format from iTunes or amazon.
As for a recommendation, you should pick up Radioheads new album from their site. You know, the pay what you want one.
