I do pay 8.99 monthly fee to watch unlimited online Netflix video streams and I want to record them on PC to transfer them on my own PC, because I don't have access to the PC with the internet connection all the time. And my father seems he isn't agree with me to get a wireless router, because he doesn't allow me to have internet all the time.
That's why I was curious to see if there is a good Netflix Video Stream Recorder to record movies.
But I guess that there is no possibility for that, I didn't think that I'm doing illegality since I pay for watching movies online. :(

How many times do they have to explain it doesn't matter what you think is right or wrong or legal. There are laws. Whether you agree with them or not, they still exist and are still valid.like calif pointed out, everything that they have for streaming online, you can also choose the rent the dvd. And you don't need an internet connection to be able to watch a dvd.

Doesn't matter what you think or don't think... you didn't buy a hard copy of any movie. Under the Digital Millinium Copyright act... you aren't entitled to make a backup copy of something you didn't own in the first place.

And as was mentioned... just because "...I didn't think that I'm doing illegality since I pay for watching movies online. " You would very clearly be in violation of the law.

Renting or paying to view a streaming movie...does not give you rights to a hardcopy of it....and thats exactly what you want to do.

If you pay to rent an appartment.....are you entitled to a deed for another unit too? I think not.

Want a copy of the movie...go out and buy a copy....then you would be legal. But of course....you would be paying for that copy....and its far more than renting something to which you never have rights of ownership to.....ever. Otherwise you would be buying...not renting. And just because you are a minor.....doesn't get you off the hook for movie piracy any more than it would for Music Piracy.

Sorry to inform you...this is the real world....and you don't get to make up the rules any more than the rest of us do.


Or how about this.....you let your friend use your Ipod for the weekend....he gives you $10 for using it up front. Is he entitled to keep it? And what makes that any different?

Or your "friend" gives you a Dollar to look at the essay your teacher assigned you, that you worked hard on. He takes it to Kinkos and makes a copy... and turns that in two periods before you have that class. That is different how?

There is a legal loophole, but I'm afraid it wouldn't do much good. The DMCA strengthens copyright laws and says that programs designed to circumvent DRM's are illegal. There is an addon for FireFox that allows you to take streamed videos, from your hard drive (they have to be downloaded to be viewed) and lets you put them on another computer. This avoids DMCA because the DRM's are still in place and without a proper decoder and the correct rights it cannot be viewed. Furthermore, you are not committing any copyright violation, because the copy on your hard drive was placed there by netflix, and done so intentionally.

Once again, this remains legal because the video was placed there from the paid service, and the DRM's remain intact. Also useless unless you know how to legally play DRM protected content.
