<p>In Spain it is currently legal to download copyrighted music or movies from p2p if it's for personal use, so if you want to download any artist's latest album you have the legal right to do so. And I should note that you should exercise your rights in the same way you exercise your muscles, to get them in shape.</p>
<p>Bottom line being, if something is illegal in your country it doesn't mean it's also illegal in the rest of the world. After reading your initial email I got the feeling that the FUD spread by the the anti-pirate lobby has really affected even to the people in PP-USA and that is really sad. </p>
