What are you talking about ? Don’t you know downloading movies and software for free is illegal ? True, there are so many sites out there sharing movies, but they are all all illegal too; they are out there because it is very difficult to track them all down. But RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America) and MPAA(Motion Picture Association of America) are doing their best to control piracy and they have closed down so many sites so far.
Don’t you know that owners of pirate bay were sent to jail recently? And another woman in U.S was fined $1.2Million for sharing just 24 MP3s??
Movies, software, and music are covered under intellectual property rights, if you download any of them without paying (except for the content shared freely by the creators themselves like opensource software) then you are breaking the law. But in Sri Lanka these laws are not properly implemented nor executed. So nothing will happen to you, but that doesn't make it right, it is still stealing..
