When I have money to spare and a good game or film is released then I will buy it, I'll usually download it first for free to check it out tho.... to see if my money will be well spent. Most things I download I wouldn't bother buying, they aren't worth the money, so i'm not hurting anyones profit margins. Well done to the Swiss, hopefully more nations will allow "for personal use" of legal materials downloaded "illegally" though I have little hope that this will happen anytime soon in the UK..... where is the best place to live in Switzerland? | ||

You can compare it to laws about drugs like marijuana. Most places have laws about distribution, while some places also have laws about possession. Downloading from a filehosting site instead of bittorrent protects you from the distribution charge, but not from the possession charge. You can see this with emulators for video games since I believe in certain places it is illegal to own a downloaded game that you do not own in a legal way (Steam is downloaded but legal). In other words, if I buy a Nintendo 64 and a Super Mario 64, I can download an emulator and a copy of Mario 64 and it can be legal. If I download a copy of StarFox without the physical copy as well, then that is probably going to be illegal. Emulators themselves are, I believe, fine by themselves since they can't do anything without the games. So technically you could buy a Mario 64 without Nintendo system and still be fine legally (I believe, don't quote me on that). In any case, the law can be complicated, and I can give you no definite answers since I am not too familiar with it as every state may or may not have different relevant laws. I imagine some states also have no laws about this, and the corresponding law could be a federal one. | ||
