I don't know the details because I've never done it but apparently
sources of movies such as Amazon allow you to download a complementary
digital copy of the movie *if* you have purchased a hardcopy (DVD).
There are also other sources for downloading digital copies such as
something called "VUDO" but again, I don't know anything about it.
Never did it.
And that wasn't one of the ones I had in mind... Poor
Greg...overwhelmed by and snotty about what he doesn't know.
When you answer with an insult, we know you are out of facts.
You still have not answered the question and I suspect it is because
you know you are a pirate. None of the examples given so far have
mitigated the copyright notice at the beginning of virtually every
movie.
Certainly there is technology that allows copying movies but MPAA's
position is that all of them are illegal.
In fact there is DRM now in the HDMI adapter and you will be blocked
from streaming a movie if you are trying to play it on a non-DRM
compliant platform. It will automatically default to SD because they
know they have no control over that data path and you can copy it
anyway.
