Let's say you own a DVD

[alphatarget1]

Would it be illegal to download the HD version if you already own the DVD to the same title?

 

[Queasy]

yes

 

[jimbob200521]

I'm sure it would. I don't know for a fact, but it just seems that the way things are/are going, it would be illegal.

 

[vi edit]

Yes.

 

[FoBoT]

yes, you can't legally download illegal stuff

you'll turn into a pirate and then you'll have to put a steering wheel in your pants

 

[fstime]

Wouldn't you somehow have to burn it onto a Blu-ray or HD-DVD disk though?

 

[torpid]

Of course it would. The studio went through additional effort to deliver the HD product.

they need some kind of trade in program...like send in your current DVD and get credit towards an HD DVD version of that same movie.

Suppose you buy a base model Honda Civic and later decide you like the fully equipped Honda Accord. You already have the Civic, so is it legal to go to the dealership and steal the Accord just because you like the newer features and you already bought a Honda vehicle?

No sh!t, the studio execs would sooner see their entire families executed before they'll ever give up a buck.

illegal. now if they put out a sh*t dvd with sh*t video quality then double dipped with a new special edition they finally bothered with quality transfer i'd say it would be semi justified.
