In some European countries, the authorities are taking rigorous action against film and music piracy. Even downloading a single file can lead to fines, criminal proceedings and warnings.

In Switzerland, the legal situation is somewhat different. Here, you can download or stream certain content from the internet without paying for it under certain circumstances.

I assume you are talking about 3.b? It says that the usage is prohibited outside the private sphere, so you can't seed, you can't upload, but you can have movie nights with friends and family using p2p content.
