Yeah, they're just taking down sites for shits and giggles. ^^

Nobody said it isn't illegal; only that under law, theft isn't applicable. Copyright infringement is.

Anyway, this isn't what the thread was about and discussion of downloading always turns into freeloaders on one side shouting that all information should be free and people on the other shouting that downloading is the same as stealing from the pockets of content producers, when neither is true. Perhaps if people were able to discuss it objectively, progress would be made in countering it.
