Moral Decision.

[GhostOfDixie]

I have nearly 300 videos in my classic film collection, ranging from Raging Bull to Stand By Me. Problem is I don't really watch them anymore due to:

1. Stored away
2. Video I have isn't that great.

So I was considering downloading copies of the films, so they are in digital format. Whacking them all on an external drive, and watching them through my computer system.

Am I breaking the law? It's not like I am stealing, as I already own a copy of the film.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

Anybody got a law book on this matter?

 

[chicoazul]

Youre legal to do that.


But that doesnt excuse all them "other" ones you downloaded.

 

[McBain]

You mean DVD or VHS?

As long as its not for public consumption you can do it.

Are you suggesting top shelf stuff? Like Mayfair or Club? I'm not able to reach that high.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Are you having a laugh?

Just download them.

You own a copy of the movie you haven't broken any laws.

Besides even if you do who cares.

Well for someone who may download 300 films, may be flagged up as someone intending to distribute.

Flagged by who, your ISP?

It never happens.

Or, if you're that paranoid about it, use a torrent.

Your internet provider is going to take you court.

I present to the court Exhibit A: An Apple Computer seized from the defendants house"


cue G.O.D windmilling all over the show*

 

[NeoNaoNeo]

Then no-one will trace you.

If anyone will get punished, it'll be the torrent site.

And that happens....so rarely that I can only think of one site, thepiratebay, and they went back online straight afterwards.
