Question 5 / 9 - Upload / Download

Downloading files like films or music clips from an exchange platform is in general …

Correct!

The usage of exchange platforms is not generally forbidden. But there you can often get proprietary material and the author (the person who created it) didn't allow for his work (e.g. music) to be downloaded. If you are downloading the music you are making a copy, which is uploaded simultaneously. Therefore you contribute to publicly distributing the file. This is forbidden and often ends in high compensation claims. For lack of author's rights control this creates the opportunity to exchange works protected by copyright (music, computer games, software, films, ringtones) without paying the license fees.
