You're welcome. =) I think perhaps the lack of answers is that people 
maybe did not understand the question, and I was uncertain myself. But now 
I think it is perfectly clear what the question is.

This is easy! I live in a jurisdiction where pirating content is not 
illegal. It is illegal to spread content, making it available, but not to 
download it.

If I would live in such a jurisdiction, and if it would be common that 
people are arrested or prosecuted, I most likely would rent a VM in a 
jurisdiction where pirating is legal, and then download from that VM and 
just download over scp to where I was living.
