Absolutely! I hope you haven't already done so because if you did... You dun goofed! The concequences will never be the same. The Cyber Police have the ability to backtrace your every step on the internet. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

P.S. Just Kidding, You're safe. And if it's a legit copy of the iOS it's not illegal unless you're hacking it to jailbreak (root) or alter it in any way to use on an iOS device. You get into illegal when you start running Mac OS X on a PC or Peer 2 Peer filesharing movies and music. An ounce of intent is worth a pound of conviction. Have the right reasons identified and challenge their morality. You should be good.

P.S.S. Sorry; but, teh lulz were totally worth the necro. :)

It is illegal, but you won't be arrested for it because you don't expect the police to arrest millions of perple that download it! But TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
