Eh... You might be mixing movies/music with software. In the Netherlands downloading movies or music is legal (but not uploading!), the downloading of software however is illegal if you do not have the required license. If you have a serial you don't always have a license (keygens might generate serials, but do not generate licenses for example).

I'm not. I said pretty much what you said. Downloading isn't illegal in any of the cases. And with sharing serials, I also ment keygens and shit like that
If I where to download a program/game which I don't own myself it's still legal. Basically if you're not using the app if you don't own it you're good.
There is nothing that says you aren't allowed to download it and leave it idle on your PC.

So you can steal, as long as you don't use what you stole for anything.

Err... There is, at least in the Netherlands. It's called copyright. You are not allowed to copy information unless you have permission by that person to do so. You're probably mistaking because we are allowed to copy art, scientific articles and literature for personal use and study, as these are excluded from the rules around copyright due to a specific law.

The dutch law says nothing about an exception on software and games.
Because I had 2 against me, I searched a bit more; the part where software and games are different is due to an European law that gives them extra protection. It was legal though.
I was wrong that it is (still) legal, although you where wrong about it being part of the dutch law ;P
(or I just really couldn't find it there)
