> Downloading a document is fine as long as it is not shared outside?
I've fixed your question so that it accurately represents what I said and doesn't put words in my mouth.
If I click on a link and download a document, is that illegal?
I do not know if the person has the right to distribute it or not. IANAL, but when people were getting sued by the RIAA years back, it was never about downloading, but also distribution.
As I said, IANAL, but feel free to correct me, but my understanding is that downloading a document from the internet is not illegal.
> it was never about downloading, but also distribution.
Did you mean to write "but about distribution" here?
Yes, thank you for catching that. Unfortunately, I cannot edit it now.
