		justrobert on Feb 12, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Long, Slow Decline of BitTorrent (2017) Again when it comes to the USA copyright law, it is about distribution. A person who copies a specific work and does not distribute it is not breaking the law as far as I am aware. That is why I'd be interested in seeing what laws have been broken.

It's certainly a DMCA violation if you broke any DRM to make that copy. That does not require distribution.
