That's a counter-example. Drug punishments aren't related to this at all, but we do charge people for possession AND we charge people for distribution.
- deepnet 10y agoYou would be right if there was a law 'watching infringing material', equivalent to 'receiving stolen goods' - but there is no such law. I have received a lot of emotive disagreement and conflation of terms but where is the statute or precedent that says downloading is illegal ? There is none. Sadly or happily depending on ones position. Yet I don't understand all this disagreement with the facts. Please if you believe I am wrong it would be quite easy to substantiate the argument by a citation of statute or precedent. I have looked into this matter quite extensively and there is no such legal prohibition.
