De jure it's not really legal anymore since they updated the law... De facto nobody cares as long as you're not making a business out of it.
Same goes for the place I live since 2016: Thailand.
Though: Not pirating for professional stuff, only for private stuff. I still support software/media by buying the things I want to support.
