Legality is based upon the song.

If you were to torrent Chocolate Rain, a song based upon Creative Commons, where no copyright is present, I assume it's legal.

For a song that is legally sold in stores and copyrighted, it's illegal.

uTorrent leaks information to your ISP, so they can terminate service if you're using a lot of bandwidth.

Bitcomet is the way to go.

For the most part, yes. However some CC licenses prohibit some forms of sharing, IIRC.

There are no laws governing it here.  it's just "morally wrong".
