Everybody now.....

"It's not illegal to download pirated material".

The only possible charge one can be guilty of in regards to file sharing is copywrite infringement which relies on DISTRIBUTION to be applicable. Therefor, if you don't DISTRIBUTE copywrited material (in this case that would mean either uploading and/or sharing) than YOU CAN'T BE CHARGED WITH IT.

Therefor, if you download without uploading or sharing....IT'S NOT ILLEGAL.

Facts is facts.
