Well, I don't see how downloading non-commercial products can be seen as a piracy at all. It would make whole lot sense to me if you were to say that non-commercial software downloading should be a civil matter, not a criminal one, but here we're talking about pirating commercial products in popcorn time, which can be categorized into criminal matter.
I mean non-commercial in the sense that the person doing the downloading (or uploading) isn't doing so to generate a commercial benefit, not whether or not the product being pirated is commercial in nature.
>which can be categorized into criminal matter.
Of course it can be categorised into criminal matter, that's the point: it is, but it shouldn't be.
