Careful with this. Downloading pirated content can definitely be illegal depending on where you live.
It's just not usually enforced as heavily as redistributing.
More specifically there is no US Federal Law about obtaining pirated works, only the Redistribution
So, basically, downloading cracked adobe products is always right. It's always morally acceptable. But your provider is risking their ass.
The big industry names want to make you believe that you'll be punished for downloading a car. It's all fearmongering.
Yes but you commented on a global website, so your previous generalist statement definetly doesn't apply to everyone reading it :)
Then share your local law. Don't be pissy that Americans are clarifying for other Americans.
America is such a small country though, no one would assume anything said online is directed at it's miniscule population without an explicit reference.
Whoops, your bias is showing.
