Is downloading torrent files from TorrentFunk illegal?
No, torrent files are not copyrighted, so this is allowed. However, opening a torrent file in your BitTorrent client may start the process of downloading (and possibly uploading) copyrighted content. Depending on the circumstances, such as the content in question and the country you’re living in, this might be illegal. In some countries, it is illegal to download and upload copyrighted material. In this instance, make sure that you only download unlicensed content via BitTorrent. In other countries, it is allowed to download copyrighted material, as long as you don’t upload them. If this is the case, we advise you to use the BitThief client. To be on the safe side, we advise you not to download any copyrighted content at all.
