Most people try to claim ignorance when they are busted for illegally downloading files, but soon you may be able to try your luck with the argument that it's "art".

Art 404 gallery is currently exhibiting a piece by Manuel Palou called "5 Million Dollars, 1 Terabyte" which is a "sculpture" consisting of a 1 TB external hard drive containing $5,000,000 worth of illegally downloaded files. The hard drive is displayed on a pedestal at the gallery.

The files are mostly games, books, language packs, music and design software. They include some recognisable expensive packages such as Adobe Font Collection ($20,000), Adobe Creative Suite ($2,600) and various AutoCAD downloads. The bulk of the value of the files comes from mega-packages such as the 76GB Great Science Text Books ($500,000), the 135 GB Nintendo DS Rom Collection ($145,000), the PC Games 1979-2001 collection ($150,000) and the 133 GB Fiction Books 2003-2011 (a whopping $3,000,000).

You can check out the full list here (pdf).

I'm sorry, but a hard drive that potentially contains a spoon load of 'borrowed' items is not art, and admitting to the value is just asking to be done for it

If you can get it to last for years without rotting, probably.
Make sure the paper isn't white if you want to actually try this.
