We&#x27;ve been on that list for a few years now, this is not exactly new (the list is updated every year). We like our sensible laws, like allowing people to make backup copies of their media and not going after people that merely download stuff. How could you know it&#x27;s an illegal or legal source anyways when clicking on a link?  Uploading&#x2F;distributing is still illegal here, and you can absolutely get in trouble for that if you do it on a large&#x2F;commercial scale.<p>Also it should be said that due to the very high purchasing power and small wage gap people do in fact buy their movies&#x2F;music&#x2F;etc and you won&#x27;t find fakes of physical items in stores (unlike other countries).<p>Is it going to change in the future? Probably. It&#x27;s very possible that the we&#x27;ll be strong armed into changing the laws as part of some related or unrelated trade negotiations with the US.<p>If the US had their way, they&#x27;d open up an law enforcement branch in every country and prosecute the people right there and then. I for one am happy that hasn&#x27;t happened yet.
