Uploading/ Downloading legality?

SiMaster

Hi Guys,

I know uploadinga copyrighted material is illegal as your not allowed to distribute copeyrighted material.

But where does the law stand with with downloading on a P2P net work.

i.e. in a hypothetical situation if you has a P2P programme but didn't share any files and only downloaded - is this illegal?

open discussion..........

Its illegal if you have no rights to the material and common sense were to be left at home.

I think their are way to many discussions about this at the mo.. try https://www.google.co.uk
