Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I heard people downgrade from iOS 9.3 to iOS 9.2.1 before it is no longer signed. And sometimes, I even really wanted to downgrade my iPhone 4 from iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 4 since it may be much faster, and we get the older UI. Is it a violation to use SHSH blobs? I am kind of curious.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2.1, White Gold
If you get the ipsw file from anywhere but Apple, it's a violation of the EULA and might even be, in some circumstances, theft.

Wait, so does Apple provide IPSW, if it does, where can I find it other than beta software? I actually have a Mac Pro and I registered the Apple Beta Program.
They provided it as part of the download when you update your iOS device. They don't provide it separately to consumers. For questions about development, post in the Developers' Forum.
I actually am curious if we can downgrade iOS, and is it illegal (like when iOS 9.3 was released), and on April 1-14, when we still have iOS 9.2.1 being signed, and we want to downgrade from 9.3 or upgrade from 9.0, is that possible? And is SHSH blobs illegal? I heard that I can downgrade iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS to the oldest firmwares.

As it is no longer April, any questions about what might have been are pointless.
No, you can't downgrade your iPhone 4.
I am just saying if iOS 9.3.2 comes out, and I want to downgrade to iOS 9.3.1. Why is SHSH blobs illegal?

Who said they are?
I am asking if SHSH blobs (like it helps you downgrade your iPhone 4 or below) from like iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 4 or like iPod Touch 4G from iOS 6.1.6 to iOS 4.2.1.
Because to save SHSH blobs you must jailbreak your phone. Which technically isn't "illegal", but it violates the license agreement that you agreed to, and is an incredibly, incredibly stupid thing to do.
Is it a violation of the EULA to downgrade using IPSW?
