You can find that as remarkable as you like, however it is still true.
I believe there are a number of countries that completely absolve a downloader of all legal responsibility, even if they are searching for Game of Thrones episodes on The Pirate Bay.
Even in the United States and the UK, I don't believe a court would find someone guilty if it is conceivable that the downloader in question thought the download was in the public domain.
It's probably
technically illegal, but no one would ever get punished for it.
