So just to be clear, the damage then is not from the actual piracy or due to any invasion from the source of the piracy, but rather 100% of the danger comes from the enforcement of piracy's prohibition.
Yes, definitely sounds like piracy is the problem here 🙄
Don't do illegal drugs, kids! You could get in trouble, because they're illegal.
Yup! The fact that it is defined as "illegal" allows goons to storm your house and court troll to harrass you.
Thus everything they say is true, in some way...
And it's not even illegal in the sense most people think of, it's a copyright violation. Which is a regulatory thing, not a criminal law thing.
Given the cops can show up and harrass you in the UK it might be an actual criminal offence at this point over there.
