No. Again, handing someone a gun (referencing the other thread) doesn't automatically call for a gun crime. The transfer of the software/gun/etc... isn't illegal. Yes, the RIAA and MPAA want to make it illegal, but that's just fucking stupid. If someone already owns the copyrighted material and is just downloading an extra copy (as I've found that downloading DVDs is faster than ripping them myself), then that's not illegal. Again, the MPAA and RIAA want to say that it is, but that's just them being blowhards. However, in the case of TorrentSpy, the majority of users didn't do this, and we know damn well that's true.

whoa.
