downloading anything since 1997 in Switzerland: BBS, FXP, IRC/XDCC then later on gnutella, DC++, torrents and one click hosters.

De jure it's not really legal anymore since they updated the law... De facto nobody cares as long as you're not making a business out of it.

Same goes for the place I live since 2016: Thailand.

Though: Not pirating for professional stuff, only for private stuff. I still support software/media by buying the things I want to support.

My claim was founded on authoritative sources, including the law itself. If you want to contradict that claim, you'll need to back it up.
