I have similar thoughts on buying media and not use pirating. Where do you stand on pirating films that you see on TV? In the past it was possible to record it and keep it, but today it is often not possible. My personal ethic allows me to pirate a film that I see on a TV channel. I’m more sceptical to pirate 4k or 1080p films for films that I own on dvd, any thoughts on that?
I’m ok with recording a movie or show from TV. That was commonly accepted in the VCR days, so I see no reason it shouldn’t be acceptable today. I have a couple things in my media server that were transferred from a Tivo years ago.
However, I generally prefer to rip movies from DVD or Blu-ray to avoid the breaks, strange edits, and channel logos that get put on broadcasts.
I can only think of one thing I really pirated, and that was Song of the South. The only way to get a copy was Pirate Bay. Disney won’t release it and won’t go after anyone who pirates it, because they want to pretend it doesn’t exist. However, it was an important movie historically for it’s early integration of animation with live action.
The suggestion that slaves freed after the Civil War were happy to remain in a position of subservience to the plantation owners is distasteful to say the least. Apart from that, the writing and acting in the live action sequences is so terrible that it’s not worth keeping. I wanted to see it once, but I discarded it after.
