Downloading a file is not illegal, per say. You have to actually use the file. Otherwise it's just 400 mb of space on your computer. It's just hard to justify you did not use the file at all.

My brother got caught by the MMA for some James Bond movie. They call your Internet provider, and they threaten to sue them and stuff. The internet provider will turn off your internet, but they won't tell you. Once you call, they will tell you to stop downloading or face jail time and thousands of dollars in fines. Then they turn your internet stuff back on. It's very scary stuff because your parents are the ones who's name is what the internet was bought under, and I am pretty sure they would go to jail. Also, you do not know how far they will go with your case.

So we never downloaded again. :/
