i want to ask whether using bit torrent is legal or not for download anime?

i stay in australia right now and i was confused about how to download anime without violating the law in here. this is my first time in australia and i really don't know the about the internet law and regulation here?

i was previously live in Indonesia, in there download anything like anime, mp3, video clips using bit torrent is not a big problem. because the government cannot control about it and many people use bit torrent in here.

i know that using bit torrent is the easiest way to get files or data because it was shared. But getting files like that, it is said to support piracy.

i am really confused right now?
can any of you please give me some advice whether to download using anime, using bit torrent or not?

Crying or Very sad

i am sorry if my english is not so good.

Thanks for reading this topic.
i hope all of you can give me some good advice.

it is illegal, no question about it. It's a clear violation of international copyright law and intellectual property laws. People do it anyway because they know that they most likely won't be pursued by the cops or lawyers, so it's really a moral decision. The way I deal with it personally is I buy the official DVD of any series I "preview" when the DVD is available in my country (the USA).

Many people will come up with their own arguements as to why they're not wrong, but the bottom line is the industry cannot survive without people buying the licensed products (and not Hong Kong bootlegs either). Funny thing is... if ALL anime fans bought the DVDs, then the disks would be cheaper for everyone.

Have any of you read the media? Anime companies love subs, they help with publicity. They just want subbers to take them down when the shows finally show up on dvd.

Battle programer shirase even had messages to subbers in it.

i just want to ask, is there any of you that stay in Australia download anime or mp3 using bit torrent?

i mean if there were many that used bit torrent to download, then i think maybe it's okay for me to use them. because since many people used it then maybe the gov just pretend not see (maybe).

Confused

Ah it pisses me off because when an anime becomes licensed in the US of A, everyone takes down the torrents of the anime in question when it won't be sold here in Brittania for another 2-3 years

simply to say just like in indo where it is practically free to buy pirac. product

so if you wnat to dl it is ok
as long your bandwidth allows
and of course the bt data is there

so dl away

but i don't really encourage this.. since my friend practically have all the anime out there so i just ask him....swt

but it does illegal and will be tried to track down in america...

Ha!

Up here in Canada, we can just sit on our asses and download crap.

Apparently, we just can't UPLOAD illegal materials. If someone has already uploaded them....=)
