Download copyrighted books. It’s a civil case, not a felony!

It is not illegal to download copyrighted books or media files.

That is certainly not true. It is illegal. It is often civil, but can be criminal copyright infringement based on specific criteria.

You are not allowed to share such files with others online but you can download them and it’s NOT illegal. I don’t know where you live but I’m willing to bet the law works the same there. It is a law (in my country it translates to “Fair use” but I cannot guarantee that is the name in yours) that states if a media file (picture, music, video, document) was posted online, you are free to assume that the person who posted it had the (copy)right to do it. Without this law the Internet wouldn’t be able to work as it does. Websites are not displayed on your monitor from thin air, your browser downloads their content automatically, caches it on the hard drive and from there it’s loaded and displayed in the browser. Without this law in place, by visiting any website that contains any image, video etc. you would be breaking copyright law because those pictures etc. would download to your hard drive. This law does not apply to software.

FYI, what you’re talking about is the ” refers to places on the regular Internet that are not indexed by Google and the other major search engines; you don’t need Tor to get to them.

If it’s not illegal, why would it be on the deep web? Legal businesses that want to be on the web can be without much effort.
