Digital materials are treated exactly the same as physical materials: the creator has the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the work, or authorize others to do so. Downloading content is considered "copying," and uploading content is considered "copying" and "distributing;" thus they require permission of the copyright holder.
