I hardly doubt there are many countries where pirating is legal.
For example here where I'm from (Romania) everybody seams to think it's legal when in fact it isn't and the legislation is pretty clear about it.
It's just that nobody actually does anything unless the tracker/streaming service owners are asking money for this, if someone sues you or if you are a maniac and start downloading everything you see.
And of course if you're a company that uses pirated software for profit.

In Slovenia it's not illegal to download, but it is illeagal if you burn the content on CD/DVD and sell it.

Ha.
It's kinda weird since "piracy" isn't actually defined here, only the action of pirating things is defined.
This leads to various interpretations. For example, I was reading some info on the website of a anti-piracy international association that's also present in Romania and they seam to consider you a "pirate" even if you keep a trial installation kit on your HDD after the trial limit expired of if you do not uninstall a trial program that expired.

I do because they don't sell my type of movie around here. I would love to buy the physical copy if I can find it in stores.

Its not illegal in every country. That and, even if it is, what is your point? Is FBI going to kick your door and arrest you as soon as you post on SG forum saying you pirate?

Ok, maybe he wasn't downloading anything, but that shit's still fucked up.

Nowadays, yeah. They aren't above it. They are so power drunk they would arrest a boy scout for helping a little old lady cross the street just because they can. And my point is, if you are doing something that is generally regarded as illegal (and even put that it is illegal in the thread title), don't just announce it to the world. There are asshats everywhere who just love to report that stuff if only to kiss ass.

I do, since we already have 'piracy' taxes on all data storage thingies (HDDs, blank CDs, DVDs), and since they think of all of us as pirates, might as well pirate then, I'm giving them the money anyway.

Because not everyone can have 100/10 connections.

Blu-ray rips(the ones that are direct rips, no compression) are much higher quality than any stream that is available.

When you stream you are "temporarily downloading". I'd rather download it permanently.

streaming = downloading movie illegally. there no difference.
streaming have lower quality, i prefer higher.
and you can watch your movie when you download it with any decent player like VLC, Potplayer or many others probably... so why watching a crap copie from a website with a crap flash player? i don't get it
