Nancy asks…
Sharing is illegal but download is legal?
ok,i have been told that download isn’t illegal in uk, you can download movies, music, software its legal. Illegal just sharing – you not aloud to give any media to other people to download from you, but it’s ok to take them from others?!? So i’m little confused! did it’s ok to download when you downloading but do not giving it to others to take from you?
Nagesh answers:
Downloading copyrighted material is illegal. Comanies in the UK just choose to concetrate on the people uploading as they are distributing, cut the supply and you cut the distribution. This doesn’t mean in any way that you are less likely to get to be prosecuted. Again this is also unlickly to happen as your ISP will sending you something like 2-3 warnings before they take action against you. Also a large portion of the country D/L illegal items and in the UK they are not that aggresive in locating people so the chances of actually getting prosecuted is close to the odds of winning the lottery.
Hope this helped
George asks…
Can you download pirated movies from other countries and vice versa?
E.G, if my Chinese friend is in China, would she have a legal issue to download a pirated American movie?
Citing your sources would be appreciated.
Nagesh answers:
Not legally. Copyright law makes no exceptions just because someone in another country broke the law first.
Maria asks…
If downloading movies were legal, do you think people would stop buying legal copies?
My friend told me that people would just download and watch the film to see if they liked it, then buy the legal copy if they did and subsequently delete the copy from the hard drive… I told him that since we’re not living in Utopia, that would NEVER happen. He disagreed with me. Tell me what you think!
Nagesh answers:
I think some people would continue to buy DVD’s. With CD’s a lot of people, me included, like to have a physical product to hold instead of just a file on a computer. Having said that I think people don’t feel as strongly about film as they do about music.
Charles asks…

Nagesh answers:
Hulu or the show’s network site are the only ones that would be legal
@Jeff that’s actually not legal as they don’t actually have permission
Robert asks…
i want to download movies and music, but is it legal? if yes whats the best place to download from?
P.S.i am not very good at computers
Nagesh answers:
Downloading music and movies for free off peer to peer programs like kazza or limewire is most definitely illegal if you care about legality of things. If you want to pay for it on line using credit/debit card and since you are not very good with computers then I suggest you use most user friendly sites like yahoo music/videos or MSN. These sites are more reliable even if you got problem downloading or unable to download they dont try to rip you off and will refund you. Good luck
