Which is purely ridiculous, but it happens. I like the way my government deals with it (a tariff on disposable media, and anything that can have "pirated" content downloaded onto it i.e. hard drives, smart phones, and computers). Problem is, ACTA is going to screw that up. So are the Conservatives, because the attack ads only mention the tariffs, not the reason for them.

Why is downloading "illegally" really illegal?

Many shows (especially sports) forbid the duplication of said show in a statement or the credits.

We need to distinguish between a crime and a tort.

Another scrabble word for you is "delict". That's what we call tort in Scotland.
