>But pirating movies/music isn't illegal so I guess it evens out?

I don't live in Slovakia or the Czech Republic but I'm just going to go ahead and say you're wrong.



In many countries, downloading (which I assume GP means by "pirating") is fine, redistribution is not. Example: the Netherlands, where the govt. has recently affirmed that not only is it legal, it will remain so: https://torrentfreak.com/dutch-parliament-downloading-movies...


I do live in Czech Republic and it's not illegal to download music and movies. However, sharing is illegal, so e.g. torrents are illegal.
