: how am I reproducing it? It is just sitting on my computer.
Well, let's see. When you "download" something you are copying a file from one computer to another, correct? Uhm, that *IS* correct, isn't it? I mean, you didn't think that when you download, the file on the other computer actually traveled physically into yours, did you? Oh no. All down loads are copies, not originals. And copies are what? That's right: REPRODUCTIONS! Likewise the reproduction did not just create itself; it was created at your command. Thus, you did reproduce something, and without permission.
BTW by your own definition you are also a smuggler.
Ahh, education! It's so much fun!
