Hi folks, a simple legal heads up for the newbies...

The keyword is "Copywrite"

Now I cannot speak for the US, but here in the UK it is illegal to dowbload anything that is copywrite that you have not been given permission and/or purchased.

Defined as simply as possible, you are NOT shareing, you are copying, the original still exists, its not like borrowing a CD from your mate and returning it, it IS like borrowing it and copying it, this is illegal.

In the UK you are permitted to make one copy of your own DVD/CD original as a backup, and you must be able to produce the original if asked by law.
