OP, You're obviously trying to pirate movies while being scared of getting your Mac infected with viruses (this is not your first post about this). Perhaps you should rent/buy the movies instead, considering your Mac costed a hell lot more than the movies, yet you still bought it.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you too well up on that high horse of yours.

Why is being correct considered being on a high horse? Maybe you should hold yourself to higher standards.

As long as you don't pay for it it is pirating.

If you shoplift a DVD from a store, does that count as stealing or do you have hold a gun to the shop owner's face and say give me the movie for it count as stealing?

I hereby authorize you to download anything and everything you find on the internet.

If there's no payment required, that's a plus.

Enjoy the beauty of the greatest communication network ever built by the human race.

It's quite safe, and the quality is often superior from what you get via commercial channels. Various peer-to-peer networks have revealed themselves to be the best way of sharing culture in our modern day and age, and you should not be ashamed for supporting non-commercial distribution channels for culture.

The internet in general and file sharing in particular has revolutionised the dissemination of culture globally, and democratised consumption of culture in a truly amazing way.

Do ignore the anti-culture moral trolls posting in this thread.

This is clearly a discussion of pirated materials which is not allowed anywhere on MacRumors.
