Unsure if anyone can clarify. But my understanding that simply downloading a watching isn’t an issue.

Selling illegally copied content is what can cause real legal issues.

I’m uncertain of any cases of anyone getting in trouble for simply watching copied content.

Example… 1st user pirates movies or videos and uploads them to YouTube or any streaming company.

2nd User then streams or downloads them to watch them offline. I’ve yet to see the 2nd user in this scenario face legal consequences.

Vs

2nd User then streams or downloads content and makes money off it. Here I see the 2nd user have legal issues.

Again I’m just a regular guy going based on regular guy logic.

I mostly will miss being able to google something and adding “reddit” to my search to search for public opinion on day to day issues and problems.
