Downloading Vidoes / Movies

I WANT TO know if it is illegal to download movies to your PC (kinda ~ censored ~ question but …) I want to download movies for iPod Touch in Canada. I want to know if it is illegal / or if i can be charged or arrested for it. Can they easily track me or something. My ISP is Rogers and could Apple possibly do something…
Answer #1
Why not email the MPAA and ask them if it’s illegal?
Lets see you will be traced if you hack homeland security but if a funny little boy downloads a simple movie it’s not worth their time. Yes it’s illegal but it’s very rare people get in trouble for doing it. Unless you brag about it.
Answer #2
so basically you saying there is a high chance i won’t be caught ….. and i already know it’s illegal …. just want to know if it is possible to be caught.
Answer #3
the only reason you would get in trouble is if you were to tell a bunch of cops about what you are doing lol…there is no way they enforce it other than that lol….btw i have some ipod uploads if you want to check those out
Answer #4
possible yes, likely no.
Answer #5
If you are afraid dont download stuff. Ofcourse its not legal to use or view stuff you didnt pay for. As long as you stay away from P2P programs you be alright. HTTP links from RS, MU, MS, ect are safe for now. But if RS were to crack and give MPAA all of the recorded IP logs everyone would be screwed…lolz
Answer #6
so true but MPAA ain’t gonna hunt down like a 1000 (minimum downloads per movie) ppl … will they
Answer #7
so it’s all safe nd ~love~ if i download movies
Please don't double-post, use the edit button instead-glenny.
Answer #8
No, it’s nothing is ever 100% safe, use your own judgement. I for one download movies/software/apps/operating systems/music. I know the risk and I am willing to take that risk for what I want.
Answer #9
but is there a way to protect myself anyhow
Answer #10
but is there a way to protect myself anyhow
Wear a condom? don’t brag about it and have you got a dynamic ip address i heard they’re better than static.
Answer #11
For one, dont use torrents, limewire, bearshare, emule or any p2p program.
For music I suggest using any dc++ program, like oDC, StrongDC, or KingDC. For movies, stick to rapidshare and dont try to upload.

Ha-Ha-Ha! Why not email the MPAA and ask them if it’s illegal? Look if your stomach hurts, or you feel guilty then your in the wrong place. This is a sight, not a movie rental company!
Ha-Ha-Ha!
Answer #13
It’s legal only if you own an original copy of the video/movie. But such tracing by the Cyber guys seldom happens.
