I love reading screenplays. I find they're more tightly written than novels and (obviously) more visual. A simple google search of "screenplays" finds a huge heap on the net in basic html/txt, which makes them easy to download and convert.

I've downloaded and converted some golden oldies and some recent titles.

This is for my own use, and I have no intention of sharing them. Could someone tell me if this is illegal to do? If I had saved the original screenplay to my desktop computer, and then read it there, is that okay?

Does the act of converting the file, and putting it on my Sony make it illegal?

Or are the screenplays, even though they are in plain view on the net, and not on torrent, illegal in themselves?
