Removing the DRM is likely a violation of the software EULA that you agreed to when you purchased a license for the movie. You agreed to the licensing terms.

Are you going to end up in jail? Not likely.

Is it still a violation? Yes.

I agree with with Ether. I have an iPhone too and never buy anything off of i-Tunes.

Buy it and then torrent it.
Just don't distribute it.
Easy. No laws broken.

Torrenting it, is distributing it.. :/

But.. I'm all about freeing media from the hands of BIG media...

Isn't it only if you steal it?
I mean you DID buy it.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

You either pay for it or steal it. Or you can pay for it and still steal it. Just decide what you are going to do.do it and do not ask about the morality of it on a forum. Everybody old enough knows right from wrong.Make a decision and stick to it.

JEEZ, sorry DAD. I was just asking a question. Didn't mean to offend you and ruin your forum. I'll be sure to run my questions passed you next time before I post. That way I won't upset you.

I do, however, truly appreciate the morality lesson.. I know that I'm a much better person having read your response. In fact I think I'll print it out and carry it in my wallet as a daily reminder.

Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It's not hard. Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking.

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
