Funds are limited at the moment and i'd rather not have a monthly subscription to worry about.
i'm not in the US, if that changes anything

Same in France. It's legal to leech but illegal to seed. But it's easy for a beginner to get confused and seed without knowing, so we still do not advise torrenting to everyone

Why would it be illegal to use peer to peer technology, at all? I can understand making piracy illegal - I don't agree with it, but I understand - but making it illegal to torrent anything?

Oh no it's not. I said it's illegal to seed but I should have said "it's illegal to seed pirated material"
