No.

But you can rip a copy of the DVD you have... for your own use only.... and file away the original if you want.

No. Period.

Yes legally you can download the movie.

The legal problem you run into is that when you download a torrent you also seed for others. Since you can't prove that the people you seeded also own a copy of the movie, you can be busted for illegal distributing it.

They no longer go after people for illegally downloading, because people have shown that they already own the license for the movie/game/music, so now they go after you for illegally supplying it to others.
