For the anecdote, in France, we have a pretty stupid law (that was pushed by our really strong culture industry lobbies) where you can be pursued for downloading copyrighted content but also for not having secured your home network hardly enough so you can’t argue that’s it’s your neighbor over your wifi.
But it’s only a little part of what our culture mafia achieved here, we also have to pay a tax on every device with storage that is redistributed to « copyright owners ».
We have the same tax here. Pretty insulting when I'm a content creator myself (and I'd never pirate the artists it's protecting, I think they are all terrible), but not many ways left to import without bigger costs (customs).
