With all due respect, the OP has bought the movie legitimately. He has paid for it. It was legally his.

It was Google's technical ineptitude that did not allow him to use his legitimately bought movie, which had been readily available before.

So he obtained an illegally made copy of the movie which he had legally obtained before, which he had every right to keep in his possession, formally. I don't see anyone's interests being hurt by this, including financial interests, or any moral wrong done.




I was addressing the commenter who said they just pirate. I think the article is another matter.
