If that stuff includes copyrighted material such as most commercial
music, movies, and software, then yes it's unlawful. Distributing such
material is a bit worse under the law and that's what RIAA has been
suing kids at college over.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
