Well, I remember not too long ago (about 1 to 2 years back), I
watched "Zao An Ni Hao". They invited a lawyer and talking about
this topic.
According to that lawyer, downloading/possession of porn is
illegal, however streaming of it is not. In short, you cannot have
the actual file stored.
Don't quote/hold me me for this, I just merely typed out what I
heard.
Well, like progene said, as long as you don't get caught, you
will be fine. It's not like they are gonna track everyone down for
it.
Normally, I think, people who got caught for possession of
pornographic material is because of some other crimes that they did
that resulted in a search in their house, thus getting caught for
it too.
Why we can watch but cannot store them? Don't ask me why. God
knows what those poodles are thinking.
For those who are
curious: (It is illegal even if you own the
originals)
