"Unlawful" has to do with harm or damage to someone or his property, or breach of
My think is that when someone create a product destined to the general public he is (morally) not able to claim its copyright (as an absolute right). And this even less than anyone |

My answer is not available: "No, I pay for my movies and music because it is the right thing to do"
Musicians create music, film makers and actors make films. They create a product. They may be overpriced, but your choice is to buy it (now or when it is on sale), borrow/rent it, or not at all.

It's too overpriced though, hollywood takes such a huge percentage. One new DVD here = ~$25. |
Turn off the news and read. Watch Psywar, learn something important about our society and PR, why and how it got started and how it brainwashes you.

I just download TV shows and sometimes movies because it's hard to wait for DVDs to be released. I still use legal softwares.

Next thing you know you'll be downloading a handbag and a television. Don't do it. Think of the children! |

I buy my internet connection. I could steal it from neighbors but that would be wrong. Download tv shows, music and movies is a right thing to do. Art should not be exclusive for the rich. |

I download a lot of stuff, like TV shows (because I don't even have a TV) but most of it isn't considered illegal. The games I play are usually free, or cost a few bucks on steam, I don't watch movie screeners because the quality sucks.

In a world where digital content can be copied and pasted very easily, old laws like copyright just aren't useful anymore. As a soon-to-be content creator myself, I've decided to roll with the donation model of business; there's no point in selling my work since the people who want to give me money, already will, and the people who don't want to give me money, get it off torrent sites. Might as well cut out the middle man and offer content for free: it allows your content to get into as many hands as possible, which increases the odds of finding people willing to pay for your content.
Piracy can never be theft as there is no deprivation involved: if people want to pay, they will, and if they don't, they won't; it doesn't change your profits whether or not piracy gets involved. When you steal someone's shoe, they don't have that shoe anymore; you can't steal a copy of his shoe since he still has his shoe, and you have your copy. One could argue intellectual property in the sense that an idea exists and copying that idea without permission is wrong, but considering how great the state has been at enforcing IP law, it's pointless to consider it: whether or not you think it's right or wrong, people will copy+paste anyway. We're amoral creatures: if we can get away with something and it benefits us, we'll do it. We could spend years arguing over the validity of piracy, and in those years, piracy will continue: it doesn't help the content creator to take a stance.
Certain websites like Patreon have already caught onto this trend; there, people offer to pay you every time to create something. This is great for small things like YouTube videos and comics, but what if you wanted to make something that requires a large investment to get rolling, such as a movie, or line of clothing? You don't have to get a loan from a bank anymore, you can go to Kickstarter or Indiegogo and get funded that way. While a pirate can copy+paste your content without your permission, he cannot take something that does not yet exist, which is one major way entertainers make money: it then becomes a service, rather than selling a digital good.

Personally, I know that there is a so called 'safety' net, where you are allowed to download any file once to check it's authenticity, so up until this point, No-one downloads illegally, however if you find it's a pirate movie, you must delete it within 24 hours. Should you chose to become a pirate and put it back on the web, well, then you allow others to download illegally, but they are also covered by this statement.
So no, I do not download illegally.
I may find I have downloaded an illegal file.. after I have downloaded.. and if I still have it after 24 hours, then I am open to prosecution.
This is my stance on the net, fuck the masonic laws..

I pay like $100/month in pay tv... its mostly crap... so I'm entitled to it :p
I haven't read the entire thread... but can anyone honestly say they will not download a tv show/movie because it is illegal ?
I could understand an aspiring artist here not downloading music.. or perhaps porn lol because its their industry... but movies ? Anyone who says that... I say you a liar good sir!
Even my gf who won't even cross the road until the little green man is flashing (indicating to cross...) downloads torrents after I showed her how .
