      Depends on the country. If the USA, most definitely. If Australia, probably not.

      They came to Australia in the 00s and tried their bullshit suing for millions for one or two songs, and the high court told them to fuck off and that they could only sue for the cost of a movie ticket or album. So they just gave up. But with the “left wing” govt in power, that may change

      It’s safer technically, depending on west county

      Personally I wouldn’t feel guilty about it though, you can prove you already paid for the movie.

        That’s all I want to do

        If I paid for it either on disc or something like Amazon I would like to DL a copy I can keep

        I’m not trying to download the summer blockbuster currently at the movies or anything. I’m not trying to just download a million movies and have a massive collection I never watch. I just want backups of the films I already paid for

        Which is a small handful of films I bought so I could one day watch them with my kid when they’re a bit older
