There's a website from which you can download subtitles. Can't remember
its name, but it's probably obvious.

But I'm asking if the free ones are a violation of copyright?

I can't use my conscience if I don't know if the free one is legit or
not.

It's conceivable that the movies are public domain but yet someone is
charging anyhow, just because they can and people will pay. Or maybe
they have a better quality print somehow so that's why they charge, or
maybe they could charge because when they posted it, no one else had
yet. But that the other that is free is fully legit. Does that happen?

There are (wanted) trackers... & there are _unwanted trackers_.

*For those _unwanted_ trackers, Android has a native alert*
<https://i.postimg.cc/597JNDVR/unknowntracker01.jpg>

*Unknown tracker alerts currently work with Apple AirTags*
<https://support.google.com/android/answer/13658562>

How unknown trackers work:

An unknown tracker alert is sent when someone else's tracker device
is separated from them and detected to be traveling with you
(and out of Bluetooth range from the owner).

The notification alerts you to the tracker and tells you how
to find it and what to do next.

Bluetooth trackers, also called tags, are small devices that you
can attach to items, like keys or a backpack, to help you locate
them if they get lost.

However, in some cases, these devices can be misused to track
others without their knowledge or consent.

You can identify, find, and remove trackers that have been placed
near you or in your belongings without your knowledge or consent.

I didn't even open this thread but I knew it was here; then, while
researching new real-time google play protect scanning features
for Vanguard, I ran into this (which I made a one-tap shortcut to).
<https://i.postimg.cc/597JNDVR/unknowntracker01.jpg>

Notice the tracker alert requires both Bluetooth & Location.

URI=intent:#Intent;package=com.google.android.gms;component=com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.personalsafety.settings.BleTagSettingsActivity;end
ACTION=android.intent.action.VIEW
COMPONENT=com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.personalsafety.settings.BleTagSettingsActivity
PACKAGE=com.google.android.gms
LABEL=Unknown tracker alerts
NAME=com.google.android.personalsafety.settings.BleTagSettingsActivity
PACKAGE=com.google.android.gms

If you want to start this Android activity from Windows, use this:
C:\> adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.personalsafety.settings.BleTagSettingsActivity -f 0 com.google.android.gms

In summary, this post is about _unknown trackers_ and how to turn
the Android native unknown-tracker alert on or off to see if there
are any of Apple's airtags tracking you.

If you know more, please add value so that everyone learns from you.

He doesn't want to hear about experience. Not about personal, not
about that of hundreds of thousands, not about that of hundreds of
millions. We have data ranging from 0.5% to 1% and his fiction about
battery "drain". If I was an Apple user, I would disable Find My quick
smart. Can't have 0.5% battery "drain", can we now!?

Indeed! "use texts"? "establish a call"? The mind boggles!

It depends on the country. Here, downloading is legal as far as I
remember, but sharing is not.

They are. Most jurisdictions are turning a blind eye to downloads and some
have even put it into law.

However, anyone uploading copyrighted material can be prosecuted.

Copyright for films is 50 years (in many countries) supposedly but the
studios still claim other rights in order to restrict the availability in
the public domain. Disney is a classic example as all their early work
should be in the public domain by now.

Copyright law is such that there are about a dozen clauses which _all_ have
to be met for it to be infringing, just as fraud requires 3 to 5 clauses,
again, _all_ of which have to be met (criminal versus civil differing a
bit).

To show you how hard it is to meet _all_ the clauses for torrent files,
there has never been a successful court case against someone who tormented
who contested that torrent (Malibu being the exception for a while until
the lawyers were disbarred because they seeded their torrents and then sued
the people who downloaded them - for which they were disbarred).

Now plenty of people paid up without fighting the charges.
But nobody lost a case yet.

I repeat.

You can't find a _single_ successful US court case of movies torrented
where the defendant fought the charges - simply because all clauses must be
met.

That's a ridiculously wrong answer, Chris.
*Look up _Fair Use_ for example.*

Remember, _every single clause_ has to be met for it to be considered
infringement - where you don't know of anything but a single clause.

Incredibly stupid people like Chris bother me, not because they're stupid
(as I said, most people are stupid) but because they don't know they're
stupid.

So they make stupid remarks that are completely wrong like what Chris did.
And they think they're right.

Look up "fair use" before responding...

Wow. That's like making a law that receiving stolen goods is legal.

And yet they're so blatant, and that's what got me thinking it was

While every case is different, there has never been a successful movie
torrenting case in the USA to my knowledge (we covered this in gory detail
in the past) for an individual such as we are who fought the charges.

There was only the Malibu case where, in the end, the lawyers were
disbarred because it eventually turned out _they_ were torrenting it!

Other than that, find a _single_ successful USA court case where an
individual was charged with torrenting movies and who lost that case in
court.

Having said that, you likely _will_ get a notice if you don't use a VPN but
getting a notice and being sued are completely different beasts in the US.

It was more about acknowledging that it was unenforceable and putting some
boundaries down.

Why not? It should be in the public domain. Like Shakespeare or Dickens.
Anyone can print and sell a copy of the books so why not a film?

Look up "fair use" before responding...
<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=fair+use+copyright+laws>

The problem isn't that the law is unenforceable since there have been
_many_ court cases on copyright infringement, including for Google Books.
<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=google+books+copyright+case+dismissed>

The problem is most people are stupid who make blanket claims like micky
and Chris did (both of whom are bona fide stupid people in all respects).
<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=torrent+movie+copyright+case+dismissed>

Copyright law is complex - it's not just a single component has to be met.
All the components _must_ be met for it to be considered infringement.
*You can't sue torrent users just for the hell of it, judge rules*
<https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/contra-piracy-bittorrent-lawsuit-movie/>

Unfortunately, 990 out of 1000 people are as stupid as Chris & micky are.
They "think" they understand copyright law - but clearly they simply can't.

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.
