A huge difference is you actually are downloading off someone's server - unlike torrents where you're actively participating in the distribution of pirated material. If you ever do end up on the wrong end of a copyright case.. that difference will be important.
True, but how are these servers just willy nilly allowed to exist and not taken down?
shrug that’s their problem not mine
