What? You said "it's completely unenforceable, and everyone does it" and that was an argument for why a thing should not be illegal. The same holds for uploading and downloading copyrighted material so I think you are inconsistent.

Huh? Sorry, you've entirely lost me there. Could you explain what you mean?

I do not know what "illegal material" means here. If I just saw it used without a specific context it would be something like child pornography that is illegal to possess in a lot of countries. I do not understand how you can call a copy of a film for illegal material.
