Living in Australia means piracy is essentially legal - individuals can only be taken to court for the cost of one physical copy of the pirated media, so companies don't even bother as long as you aren't distributing. The more things in this area get worse, the more justified I feel in filling up my 10TB HDD.

In the US its the service providers that get in trouble not the users

In Italy nobody gives a fuck, unless you start making people pay for your piracy service (e.g. illegal sports streaming)
