  Not very sure about the rate of the fine though.Anyway,be prepare for a 5 digit figure if caught.That's how S'pore law works.

  Illegal downloads only consists of files which breach copyright laws.
  Videos and music that have not been licsenced is not considered illegal.
  
  Any program that is freeware and/or opensource is also not illegal.
  
  Technically,
  
  example:
  You download a game that is a "full" retail version. -> illegal
  
  You download a game that is a trial version. -> legal
  
  You download a "crack" -> legal
  
  You download a game that is a trial version. and it's crack -> legal
  
  You download a game that is a trial version. and it's crack and you use the crack -> illegal
