And are those laws the same in all countries of the world?

For example: In The Netherlands it is perfectly legal to download music put it on my MP3 player and listen to it. In some countries it is not.

The fun part is that I am legally downloading when I get it from a newsgroup, but not when I'm downloading the same music with utorrent. Because in that case I'm also uploading parts of the song, and that is illegal.

But my original remark was only to make people aware that there is no such thing as "The Law"
