[Seydaman]

Just depends where you stream it from...

how does that make any sense?

I was always under the impression that it was the uploading part that was illegal, but I don't do it enough to bother with all the details.

...

i can see his logic, but im still pretty sure he's wrong XD

mainly because if you watch it your not getting any profit from it, but if you download it you can sell it to people and stuff or something like that
ce la vie, as long as he doesnt say that to FBI or something he's fine =D

Sheer determined retardation.

 

[ssgt splatter]

good question

 

[super_smash_jesus]

Bah, read copyright infringement laws before accusing someone of being retarded. it is only illegal if you reproduce or distribute, streaming is neither. It is just watching, without any illegal downloading (reproduction) or uploading (distribution).

You are right. In Canada anyways. Downloading is not a problem, but uploading for OTHERS to download is.

legal, illega, I dont care. I want it, i take it.

Anarchy, baby!

YES I see that most escapistmen do not agree with me, and thats fine. But please stop replying to my comment, because I would like to believe that a man can say whatever he wants wants without hearing long and borig speeches about what i've said.

You dont agree? thats fine. But If you still want to tell me something ( no flame please) , please send me a PM, and I will be happy to discuss this in private.

My wiews have nothing to do with the subject of the thread.

If a website hosts the movie which they own and they're like, hey come to our website and watch it then its obviously not illegal.

I watch TV shows all the time on the channels' websites for free, pretty sure thats legal

His logic is probably that since he doesnt have a copy of the movie its fine, akin to going to a friends place and getting to see the movie in their house... this house just happens to be miles and miles away on the internets. I don't remember ever getting busted for watching a movie I didn't own at a friends place, but if that same friend 'downloaded' that DVD onto a dvd and sold it to me... well thats another story.

There is none, that's the irony. People think that they aren't ruining the media industry and all of that stuff they say that piracy does at the start of movies by watching them online, but in reality, they are. Only acception is when it becomes over 50 years old. Then, copyright has expired and it is completely legitimate to download or watch online or whatever.

I think in some country's the laws are a bit more grey about the legality of streaming movies as opposed to downloading them. Also its nearly impossible to prosecute for streaming illegal movie as there's too little evidence. Though its still illegal

Some places can legally stream the video, they paid for the right to legally do it.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head (just woke up) is Netflix though.

Oh, I see.

Nice TV you've got there. Now you don't. Mind if I take also your consoles and PC? No? Well too bad, I want them. Kiss them goodbye.

And don't go to the police, or you'll be another raging hypocrite.

You wouldn't download a car.

I'd download a car.
