Shrug. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. It's well and good if that assuages your conscience, but you still have something you have no right to own. Something that belongs to someone else. |
There is actually two clearly defined legal differences between the two. It's actually not a matter of possessing copyrighted material. It's not illegal to own material that was acquired via copyright infringement, it's the copyright infringement itself that is the crime.
If you want to oversimplify something in your mind and be willfully ignoranty about it, that's your choice.
