what if the situation isn't downloadign from a 'warez' site, but instead downloading it from a site that claims to be giving it to you at no cost in exchange for something else (subscription to something, participation in some test or survey, etc)
it's not always obvious if the person offering the download is allowed to or not.

The "Death Penalty"... Posted Mar 26, 2012 20:05 UTC (Mon) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] it's not always obvious if the person offering the download is allowed to or not. Well, files keygen.exe and crack.exe are usual giveaway. But yes, if you can prove that you honestly believed that you are getting licensed software then court will be more lenient. If you'll try to use crazy ยง117-based defense schemes it'll most likely be perceived as insult and your hopes for leniency evaporate.
