Would it be illegal to download a movie from the internet and then burn it onto a disk?

because I don’t want to do anything illegal O.O

Answer #1

Yes, if the movie is copyrighted then it would be illegal. Unless the website you are downloading from has a legit liscence stating you can, meaning they have paid for the right to download it free online. Also unless the copyrighted owner himself has posted it somewhere with a download link then it is legal. Basically, if its under copyright and your not paying for it, its illegal.

Answer #2

it is illegal without license, they can also track your IP if the police get involved!!

Answer #3

mmmm ok thanks (:

Answer #4

oh ok thanks (:

Answer #5

But, if they provide the bar named DOWNLOAD, meaning that you can (legally) down load it, right? Download a movie which are downloadable is not illegal I supposed. It is the re-copying and selling that is illegal.

Answer #6

According to me its not illegal….but in literary meaning its illegal….

WHY NOT: some sites gives you the movie for free did u ever think why they did so?? what’s the profit to them if they give you free movie??? the only answer is that they earns through advertisement and some sites also earns through visitors…so its profitable if people visit their sites so they post all those movies free of cost.

WHY IT IS: all those sites buys a CD or collect it from some one and post it for their own profits….but the spnosor of those movies or the producer don’t gets any profit from them as people downloads from all those site and those owner dont pay to them.

Answer #7

Answer #13

Answer #14

Ture its illegal, same with music but seriosuly who controls it, there would be have to constant internet police, but do people want or have the time for that no,

if you burn it on a disc and dont give it out or sell it. who cares SO MANY PEOPLE do it and its an uncontroble thing. like i said u need 24/7 interent police but its not going to happen, as long as u dnt have 1000’s of copied songs or movies dont worry about u are not the only one who will or have done it. I wonder if cookielove ever done it or has accepted such things frm friends :P
