It France & Canadian law it has been argued that P2P is not considered distribution because when downloading, you often have no choice but to upload (which would be considered distribution in many countries). It is our legal right (in Canada) to download copyrighted materials for personal use. Due in large to the fact that we pay an extra fee on every piece of media (CDs, DVDs, MP3 Players, etc) that goes towards the music industry & copyright holders.
