Surely if it was legal to download copyrighted material before, for personal use, then it wasn't... illegal.
So what they've actually done is ban the downloading of copyrighted material, not ban the illegality of downloading copyright material since that's a double-negative.

- pieter_mj 13y agoNo, they banned the downloading of copyrighted material from illegal sources. You may still copy and/or download copyrighted material from legal sources for personal use. The law hasn't changed. It's been clarified by the European court and the Dutch Government follows this interpretation as of now.
