It's really no different to catching a market trader with a load of pirated CD's. If they're up for grabs / being sold (albeit for Kazaa points) then they're breaching copyright, which is illegal.

illegal suggest criminal isn't copyright infringement a civil matter unless u are passing these of as originals i.e then it's fraud?
