Furthermore, the law explicitly allows the cracking of DRM protections for private use.
For obvious reasons, this law is under constant attack and likely to be changed in the future.

Proofs that different countries has different laws and one should not simple say "downloading is illegal". "Downloading is not right" is another discussion
