That it's *currently* not illegal in the UK doesn't say anything about other countries or the future.
It's inherently wrong to get for free from a 3rd party something that is sold by the owner somewhere else, so it mostly gets down to whether the Law has been adapted to new technologies or not.
At one point, torrenting was legal in Spain.
The lobbies were quite successful at closing the legal loophole
