Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that imprisonment will result from the inability to pay a fine. I may however be wrong about that, never having been in that position.

You've been harping on about this for 6 days and haven't found one person who agrees that this law is a good one. Extrapolating out from the feedback in this thread it would imply that 95% people don't agree with this law. More concrete figures are difficult to find so I can only provide indicators.

Now that's something entirely different. Most people may well disagree with this law - I agree about that - but that's very different to saying that most people don't regard illegal downloading as a crime. I would argue that the overwhelming majority of people DO regard it as a crime (and, of course, it IS one). But I am equally unable to provide any evidence to support that

The first torrent site I found, Minnova, stated that it has supplied 12 billion torrents but obviously there are lots of different torrent sites available.

What does that have to do with the price of fish? Sure, lots of people download stuff. That's blatantly obviously. That doesn't mean that they are unaware that it's illegal to do so.
