All you have shown is that there are people out there who
want downloading to be illegal. I have no doubt that is true.
Think carefully about what that would mean though. You would have to verify that everything you ever download is authorized. That means you would have to research the copyright status and licenses/contracts that the source has in place with the copyright holders, every time you download anything on the internet. All of that would, obviously, be impossible. That would also mean things like when Amazon sells a book that they don't have the rights to, every one of their customers who bought that book would be guilty of copyright infringement and liable to lawsuits. Can't you see how ridiculous that whole notion is?
I don't understand how any sane person cannot see why that would be a REALLY bad idea.
