Swiss Copyright Law: Downloading Stays Legal, No Site Blocking
Anecdata, but I’d say 90% of the piracy from people who would otherwise legitimately paid for content I’ve seen or read about falls into one or more of four categories:<p>1. The person can’t legally access the content at all, due to age, country of residence, or other imposed barrier
2. The person can’t afford the entire price of the content
3. The content has no form of sample&#x2F;trial&#x2F;demo, which imposes a fear of buying without fully understanding whether or not the purchase provides value
4. The person actually has or was planning to buy the content legally, but diverted due to DRM which is only present in the legal copies.<p>All of these reasons indicate that the issue lies outside of the piracy, at least in my eyes. So I’m happy at least one nation has adopted some modern legislation about this topic.
