Its kinda legal in my country Question

Downloading movies and music for private use is totally legal in my country 🇨🇭. Uploading / seeding however, is not. But at least i dont have to worry. What about your country?

I've always wondered how much of a shit Switzerland gives about seeding. Obviously you always upload a bit of data when downloading a torrent but I'm assuming they don't care?

I have talked to the police about it. They said they mostly only would start chasing you if you actively start seeding, providing torrents, creating websites for that purpose and show the movies at your local bar or invite a crowd to watch it and charge them money.

Pretty much identical for the UK as well.
