Ah.. one of my bugbears.. the entertainment industry calling copyright infringement for personal use piracy or theft (legally it's not either) or even a crime (in many countries it's a civil not a criminal offense unless you profit from it).
If I like something I'll pay for it. It's only fair to those who made it and it allows and encourages them to make more of what I like. If it's unfairly expensive (DVDs in the UK are twice the price than in the US, for example) I'll just wait for it to come down in price.
Let's please not get into a discussion about piracy, as several other forums have had threads devolve into endless pointless arguments.
For online movies, there are (mostly poor quality, in all areas) movies on Youtube, and I think Netflix does the watch movies online thing.
