It's actually not the downloading that people get into trouble over. It's the uploading. I don't think anyone has ever been sued for downloading. Making it available to everyone else is where the infringement is.

Besides, even if you want to use the material for "parody, criticism, review and Training" that doesn't mean you can walk into a store and shoplift the original copy. Downloading it is still technically theft regardless of how you are planning on using it.
