I think he fails to answer whether it is legal to download it in say... my country, Denmark. And I am not even sure, but I think it might be.
Still, going through every copyright jurisdiction might be a bit over the top. But reminding ourselves that it is possible in Australia and Canada are a bit of a few choices.
