I'd be curious which one you are talking about?
Most countries allow downloads. They usually specifically target torrent users because a typical torrent user is making the file available to others while downloading. It doesn't apply if you download with a protocol (like http/https/ftp) that doesn't make you share the file.
- bzzzt 3y agoLots of countries don't. In the Netherlands, it was allowed but later changed to prohibit 'downloading from clearly illegal sources'.
- prmoustache 3y agoSo you can pretend it is not clear and you don't know it is illegal then? I promise I thought that website was legit and was offering free licences for Super Mario![1] [1] Apparently it works with software, you can purchase licence keys of Microsoft products (OS, Office) at roughly 5% of the original price through "reputable vendors".
- bzzzt 3y agoDutch courts don't accept the excuse that you don't know, you're supposed to know the law and do a bit of research in what the normal price and suppliers of goods are. It's comparable to buying a bicycle worth 800 euro for 20 from a drug addict. Even if you don't know it's stolen, you're guilty of fencing.
