Piracy is not legal, there will be less enforcement.
Originally VG247.com posted a very misleading topic that the UK has decriminalized piracy. It's simply not true. http://www.vg247.com/2014/07/2...
Piracy is very much illegal, but the enforcement aspect will be minimal. However, ISP logs will still be kept so in my opinion if the government/media corporations want to go after a high profile target, they will. We are not yet 100% in bizzaro world where piracy is legal.
