Simple enough to understand now?
All this wordplay doesn't change the fact that the OP did it, it's a little late now to try and think of excuses to get out of it, after he started a thread on a forum admitting he downloaded said material. When in doubt, don't admit to fuck all.

This is the very same reason that many companies changed their leasing laws in some states because the "OWNER" of the vehicle was liable of damages done by drivers. It is also not different than if your car gets a parking ticket you are responsible for it even if someone else borrowed your car and parked it illegally.
This could encompass banks, and other companies which lead to them changing the laws.
We try to assuage ourselves into believing that what we are doing it "okay". But the real test is the judge who ultimately decides.
