Piracy and it's rights 'n shit ain't exactly my closest interests. I believe I want my Battlestar Galactica (and now, Caprica) when it's released in the US. Either way, I'll buy the DVDs when they're released (only need season four of BSG). Shit, what I wanted to point out was: TPB is just indexing. Like Google, but not in such a gargantuan manner. I guess I got too tangled up in the rights bit and got confused. Gotta be corrected all the way, I think. Piracy and it’s rights ‘n shit ain’t exactly my closest interests.

It is legal to download music/movies depending on WHAT license they are under. Not if they are not licensed. Not licensed = public domain, which also has specifications though little if any requirements. Then you have CC which has all sorts of ways to share under a free or less free license. If you have bought a movie (on a DVD) you only have a license to see the movie ON THAT DVD and IN A SPECIFIC SETTING. You may not see the same movie in a prison, public space, shop window for example, or any other place than what the user license specifies, so why do you think you have a license to download it? You don't. You don't even have the right to copy the DVD to your hard disk drive in most countries, though DVD Jon made it legal in many European countries. Nobody Special, I think you know just as well as I, that the "Pirate Bay" name is an ironic JOKE running on the exact nonsense you're pointing out. What can I say? It's Scandinavian humor:) You must be corrected again, I’m afraid. It is legal to download music/movies depending on WHAT license they are under. Not if they are not licensed.

And yes, it's not illegal to download music/movies, if they're not licenced. Thank's for the comment, and I stand corrected. Very nice, Nobody special!

Your claim that it is "illegal to download movies/music/whatever" is a testament to just how powerful the MediaMafia's flood of FUD has been. It's uploading and making available (sharing with others) that is more likely to be prosecuted. As a side note, my biggest gripe with TPB is that they feed the "Downloading = Piracy (i.e.: stealing)" nonsense. Equating file sharers with pirates by the content industry is pathetic. File sharers willingly accepting that label is pure foolishness, IMO. One small correction.
