...off sattelite tv? I am looking for A legal explanation. I dont want to steal but movie companys need to get off their asses and do something that an average consumer can afford . I already paid money for my movie why cant i just upgrade it for a small fee and not my left arm and my legs. Especially if the movie doesn exsist in high def to buy. I really want to buy alot of movies on blueray but no one has them available yet and some of them dont even have plans to be upscaled into hd!. The copies that I have ripped are literraly barely better in resolution. example dvds are 1080 by 480i resolution and most sattlite rips are actually 1080 by 584 but they look so much better!!!!
