    You’re right I forgot we were speaking about Germany specifically. Still, trying to keep things kind of broad and remind people to check their law regardless

    My understanding was that Germany’s issue is with uploading as well, but I am not German and I am not a lawyer

      Yes, broad is fine. It’s interesting to see the different approaches. :) I’m sorry if I sounded too harsh.

      Lawyer? Me neither.

      Indeed. Uploading is problematic, which includes p2p. Downloading not so much. Still illegal though.

      There was the story about witcher and CD project who targeted illegal users. Understandably. So downloading isn’t exactly 100% safe. Or using the downloads…
