    See it. You won't be disappointed.

    Well, it's on youtube, $4 to rent and 15 to buy.

    It's not the case here but sometimes there is a version to rent/buy, and
    another version that's free. The free version doesn't look like someone
    set up a camera pointing at the TV, so where does the poster get it?

    I presume, but am not quite certain, that it's stolen and I would be an
    accessory if I watch it instead of the paid version, is that not right?

    Do a search on a movie, say, equalizer and notice you can get v3 of the
    movie series. Find something interesting in your cable provider's
    channel lineup, but it's a premium channel (HBO, MAX, SHO)? Try here to >watch or get a copy. To reduce bandwidth, they probably reduce

    It sounds like you are giving me ways to avoid paying for video, but you
    don't say whether the website above is playing pirated videos or not .

    My question related to Youtube, when it has two versions of the same
    video, one for $4 and one for free. If the one for free is stolen,
    pirated, offered in violation of the copyright. But the same question
    applies if the paid version is on Youtube and a free version is on the
    website aboeve.

    If you don't want to keep re-watching through a web site, get a
    streaming capture program. Some folks use web browser add-ons. I use >jaksta's Media Recorder that operates as a web proxy, doesn't make we
    wait to capture until the video is done playing, download rate is as
    fast as the server will deliver, starts the download without even
    needing the web browser still loaded, etc. It is not a screen capture
    proxy. It captures the audio/video stream. It's not free ($50).

    Once you start playing a video stream, jaksta will discover where is the >source, and continue the download. You don't have to watch the movie,
    and probably better to stop the one playing in the web browser to reduce >bandwidth to stream 2 copies. Often you don't have to even leave the
    web browser running, but I've hit sites where exiting the web browser
    aborts the streaming to jaksta. I stop the video, leave the web browser >open, and wait until jaksta gets the video which is usually a lot faster
    than having to watch the video. A 1 hour 48 minute movie of Equalizer 3
    took a little under 3 minutes to capture, but it's all in Italian, and
    no subtitles, so no reason to keep it.

    Some movies will play in a foreign language. You may have to find a
    movie dubbed in your language, but too often the dubs are poorly done by
    the voice actors. Subtitles (closed captioning) will not be captured as
    that is a separate stream from the video stream.

    Although RTMPe (encrypted RTMP) was not intended to be a DRM enforcement >scheme, lots of sites use it that way. Jaksta will not record RTMPe to >prevent illegal recording of encrypted streams. You have to use another
    tool to capture RTMPe streams, and those tools tend to move around where >hosted to avoid the law.

    Also, there are sites that use Javascripted web apps to view videos.
    The encoding is in the player, so only that player at the time of
    download (a different key is inserted) can be used to play the video.
