Well, that was not what you wrote. And I still not get it why it is sensible to make it illegal to format shift (for your own purpose) a CD that you have stolen but not illegal to format shift a CD that you have bought. It is the theft that is the crime.

"Illegal material" in the context in which I was using it means redistribution of material that you do not have permission from the copyright holder to redistribute.

Why do you not the write "illegal distribution". Why do you every time write "distribution of illegal material"? There is for me a very big difference between these two cases and mixing them up causes confusion.
