You haven't answered the question DaniloSS.
The topic is about illegal downloading under the lens of the Buddha-Dhamma (a issue that I already answered)
Anything aside of that is off-topic.

Is not from the Buddha's teaching, as far as I know.
I don't know how much you are acquainted with the suttas.
But it's in all over the Pali Cannon:
ANYTHING that leads to the increase of geed/passion is Adhamma
ANYTHING that leads to the decrease of geed/passion is in line with the Dhamma
It's in the standard formulation of what is Right View.
He does not covet the belongings of others, thinking, ‘O, that what belongs to others would be mine!’ He bears no ill will and is not corrupt in the resolves of his heart. (He thinks,) ‘May these beings be free from animosity, free from oppression, free from trouble, and may they look after themselves with ease!’ He has right view and is not warped in the way he sees things: ‘There is what is given, what is offered, what is sacrificed. There are fruits & results of good & bad actions. There is this world & the next world. There is mother & father. There are spontaneously reborn beings; there are contemplatives & brahmans who, faring rightly & practicing rightly, proclaim this world & the next after having directly known & realized it for themselves.’ This is how one is made pure in three ways by mental action.

Why do you think that all the precepts are abstentions from actions born from greed?
It's there:
do not take what is not given
“And what, monks, is right resolve? Resolve for
renunciation, resolve for non-ill will, resolve for harmlessness: This, monks, is called right resolve. (

Take a look at the categorical classification of what is in line with the Dhamma and what is not:

What's more to be said? Are you expecting that the suttas make use of the term "intellectual property" with all its letters to address the issue?
