URL, please.
I downloaded 1 new movie to check it out, BFD.
I have also been 'stealing' James Cagney movies and "The day the Earth
stood still", a Sci-Fi classic.
Who am I stealing from if all the actors are dead?
I would like to buy them but they just aren't offered for sale.
If I recorded them on a VCR and filed them away would that be stealing.
TCM shows them with no commercials so a VHS recording is the same as I
would get from a torrent download.
That renders the piracy issue into a moot point.

Let's stop the insanity. I know this is cross posted AND OT so let's not
pursue it here. We are just wasting bandwidth here.

The people who bought the rights. Their estates?

OK. We have ascertained you are a pirate.

Next subject.

Idiot!

The point was that I could wait forever for TCM to show the old movies
and record them on a VHS tape, no commercials, legally, and also because
they are not available to buy, so, IDIOT again.
Cagney had no heirs, and "The day the Earth stood still.", has no
remaining living actors except maybe the kid.
I'm just bypassing the VCR, which is legal but a pain.

Don't respond unless you are on a harassment campaign. This is way OT
already.

Actually you will find that the TV Companies pay a royalty. So you are a
pirate.

You started it.

If I can't buy it but can download it or wait forever for TCM to show it
so I can record it then what's the big deal?

I pay my cable bill whether I record a movie or not. The only way I can
get these on DVD is to use the torrent. How can you 'steal' something
that isn't even available?
