Depends completely on country. Nevertheless, even though in Switzerland the downloading might be illegal, the having of content that you didn't pay proper licensing/copyright fees for is still illegal... to put it simple: if the cops run into your house with a court order there is no way for you to prove that you got that data purely by 'downloading' or that you bought a stack of the stuff from somebody...
