Know Anyone Who Pirates Apple TV/iTunes Video?

Pirating software itself isn't illeagal, it's what you do with it.

Actually in many countries outside of the US you can legally download a rip of a film that you already own, The DMCA crap doesn't apply to anywhere else outside of North America (I think).

BTW I agree with hitekalex.

Again, I'm not saying what is legal or illegal. What I'm saying is that the only thing that you actually own is the iTunes or whatever download that you bought. Whether you can legally acquire another copy by ripping/downloading a blu-ray is for the lawyers to decide.

For movies, I'd prefer to just buy the DVD, then rip it myself for use on my AppleTV. I do trade some movies with my sister-in-law and her family, but I know those files don't go any farther than that. So yeah it's not legal, but in the scheme of things I'm not going to sweat over it. The only time I'll bittorrent something is if I can't rip it from the DVD. Usually I'll be irritated then so I'll grab another movie or two just because I'm ticked at having to go through the trouble. However I'd say that >90% of the time I own all the movies I have on my AppleTV.
