This is not about pirating in anyway, or at least I don't think so.
I was just wondering how others felt about torrents. I use them for many things, mostly Linux. But I do use them for getting digital copies of DVDs I own. I do not use them to make bootlegs to sell on the streets, I have better things to do with my time. I never download a movie I do not own as I own a ton " and I do mean a ton" of DVDs. But with Blue Ray, which seems to be the next media storage of choice, becoming increasingly more popular, I have begone copying my DVDs to a external hard dive. That puts a lot of work on my optical drive, so I started using torrents. Blue Ray disc for the most part offer, a digital copy as far as I know.
Most of the DVDs I own are not the newest releases so I have to rip them from my optical drive, but for the few in between that I can find, is it wrong to choose this option?
I personally feel that I paid for these disc, whatever I choose to do with them as long as it it not with the intention of selling them, is my own business. I am slowly but surely working on a home media PC, as the funds are available, and would like too load all of these onto it. I am almost done just shy of a few little things, the main one being the Blue Ray burner/player.
So, what are other views of downloading if you own the product?
