    Actually no. Pretending to have committed a crime is a crime itself. At least here in Germany.

    Also: saying you committed a crime is basically the same as a confession and can definitely be used against you

        Sure, but it could still have an Impact on Germany since the copyright law is pretty similar

      Also keep in mind that at least in Germany the act of just downloading something is not illegal. Only the uploading/seeding of content is. So just admitting to having downloaded something is not admitting to a crime at all.

        No, downloading is illegal too. It’s just the uploading/seeding that gets actively enforced since it’s a more serious crime
