Speaking of torrent downloading, you aren't doing anything unlawful by browsing torrent search engines and using torrent clients on your device. But you cross the line if you download a torrent containing copyrighted content. In fact, piracy is the reason BitTorrent has blown up so much in size. Whether we agree or not, piracy is a thing that has existed for ages, and it was present even before the internet. However, cost-cutting isn't the only reason people download pirated content. Here, you'll be amazed to know there are many legal torrent sites that only host legitimate content.
