Please do not steal films
Just because it's easy and "everyone's doing it" doesn't make it less illegal and wrong. There's a simple rule to follow in order to live a life of positive karma that I have drilled into my kid's head...Do the right thing ALL THE TIME, not because you're afraid of being caught, but simply because it is the right thing to do.
This doesn't mean the LAW is what is important here, it's the fact that the people who dedicate their life (at no small sacrifice) to create the art and entertainment (to which all of you are so addicted) are receiving no compensation - it is stealing from them. From my friends. From me.
Sure, public domain films are legal to copy - but if you are in doubt as to the copyright status on a film then you can be certain that it is protected.
