The buyers/downloaders don't get caught is just because there are too many of them and going after the distributor is an easy target.
Not the case, necessarily.
In Portugal, for example, it's legal to download pirated content. It's not a matter of not pursuing it because it's hard or being difficult to catch or distributors are an easier target, it's just that, legally, you're not doing anything wrong.
sooooo.... vpn should point to Portugal...
Oh for real? Learn something new today.
In Canada it’s legal to download and watch content for personal use, so it’s when it’s shared that it becomes an issue.
Just like you could record anything with a vcr, you just couldn’t share it with your friends.
