no it's not, it's only Illegal if you get caught. on a serious note i don't understand why it's still Illegal in the first place, i mean if you are going to use it for personal use and not put it online for everyone and their grandmother to download then it should be legal.

Don't really care. Never given a crap about the law before, and i have no intention of starting now.

I pay for it, it is my sole property to do whatever the hell i want with, regardless of what some stupid laws say.

So what do they think people are doing when they go and keep buying DVD/BLU Ray writer drives?

I don't give a chit what they say.. I've always ripped my bought dvd's/blu-ray's so that I can save my discs.

It's for my personel use, I don't sell what I rip or upload to any sites, who the hell am I hurting if they've already gotten their money from me?

what bs man especially dvds that can get ruined with just one mishandle... now a days with mobile tablets laptops etc why can't u make a copy for all viewing devices u own

It's not that shocking. There's still plenty of people with terrible internet speeds.

Redbox not thriving is sort of a surprisie in certain areas. Some of my friends still have dial up speed where they live

It's somehow thriving because if I want to watch damn near any movie I want, I can get it via DVD or Blu-ray and not have to hunt around to see if it's streaming somewhere or have to pay $4-5 to rent a single movie.

Ive got Netflix and Prime Video and tbh i still buy and rent a lot of blurays. Even a 3 or 4 GB torrent doesnt look or sound anything close to a bluray and im especially pretty obsessed with building my 4k collection.

I have a rental store down the street though...

I remember Netflix having many more recent movies available on DVD than for streaming. Unless they've managed since then to license for streaming all the movies people want to watch, I understand why DVDs are still flying through the postal system.
