We all know how Comcast likes to bother people when they use BitTorrent.
If I were to download a movie(We'll use The Godfather in this example) that I already owned would that be a reasonable legal defense? The encryption on a DVD would make it difficult to put the movie on an iPod.
Are people allowed to download movies they already own?
also hi
I do it. I don't see a problem with it as long as you own it.
What "encryption" do you speak of? Handbrake can rip any and every DVD to a format that works with an iPod.

Yes, I know. I'd rather download in the format instead of having to convert it.
The real reason I was asking is because if I'm caught downloading a movie I'll just rush out to the store and buy a copy of it and say that I already owned it. caterpie;
Who fucking cares. I just download movies in great quality from pspcrazy.com caterpie;
Solution: Don't use Comcast.
sure it might seem morally fine, but it could still get you sued and/or eaten by lawyers
the copy you're hypothetically downloading is metaphorically still in a matter of speaking pirated
Stream them, do not download them.
AnyDVD is a program that ignores ANY DVD encryption.
I say if it's fine downloading movies you own, it's fine downloading movies you don't own, and pretend you do.

It's not fine, Comcast isn't an idiot.

No difference. psyduck;
Comcast can't do anything about people streaming them really.
Torrents are what they're looking for because some people who torrent also sell them on a burnt DVD

Why not? psyduck;
It's still just as much of a copyright infringement.

Because torrenting a movie is easier to catch for one, and as I already said, they can't sell streamed movies (unless you download them but usually streamed movies have worse quality). I don't know why, ask Comcast
