said by jfmezei:Technically, you bougt he rights to view the movie by buying the blue ray. So the rights holders wouldn't be able to sue you.
Even if you could 100% you downloaded the DRM-free version only AFTER you bought the BluRay, and only because you wanted to watch it on your iPad, you'd still be guilty.
Copyright law is about copies, not content. It's kind of stupid, but that's how it works. You bought the right to a specific form-factor, a specific copy. That does not give you the right to make or obtain copies of that work in any other form. You just have rights to that BluRay, not the content on it.
Of course this is also retarded. Everyone makes tons of illegal copies of everything all the time. That's how computers work. They make copies of data.
That guy that copy and pasted in that blog post a few posts back? 100%, unequivocally guilty of copyright infringement.
