- sologoub 11y agoThis seems to be the result of civil, not criminal proceedings, so a far cry from a proven crime. The burden of proof is MUCH higher in criminal proceedings and for that reason we have "innocent until proven guilty" presumption. Civil matters often come down to who has deeper pockets and more lawyers.

- acdha 11y agoMy dictionary defines illegal as “contrary to or forbidden by law”. If you're distributing material without permission it's still illegal even if you stick your fingers in your ears while loudly shouting “na na na I can't hear you!”
- nfoz 11y agoPerhaps pedantic, but "fair use" usage of a work would fall under "unlicensed but legal".
- icebraining 11y agoThe content is not illegal. Illegal content would be stuff like child pornography.
- acdha 11y agoTrying to redefine the question will not make your earlier wrong answer correct. At no point has anyone questioned the legality of the actual music – the discussion has always been about whether it was legal for them to share copies.
