I have to agree here about the film. When you pay to see the movie in a theater, you don't get to keep it for repeat viewing.
However, I recently bought three used VHS tapes of movies not available on DVD, copied two of them to DVD for my own use, then my VCR stopped working. I found an online copy of the third film (not a torrent, BTW) and downloaded it. It had been recorded from a TV broadcast.
Am I supposed to feel guilty? Who got victimized here?
