what is illigal?
 

i know this type of question has been asked before, but not this specific question has been answerd.

what is illegal:
the reproduction of music/program
or
the downloading of music/program

i have read on program like nortan antivirus
'any unauthorised reproduction of this program or files is illigal'
it doesent say anything about downloading the files and installing them.

so is it illigal to share the files, to download them, or both.
any comments welcomed.
thanks :p

Both.

One of the rules deals about double posting.
Watch out.
And by downloading a software (or a warez version of it) you make a copy of it in your comp. Namely, you are reproducing it.

but in some parts of the world filesharing isn't illegal which is how warez sites survive. One more reason that the US sucks.

United Kingdom
 

is this the same in the UK?
