Just remember also that there is an entire subculture dedicated to hacking and also one dedicated to Virus Creation and Propegation. Sometimes these guys will add code to a downloaded movie that can install Trojan Viruses, Adware, and other internet nasties onto your PC. Be REAL careful with what you download.

If you want to start getting into pirating movies buy yourself another PC. A good cheap used one will be fine. and use this as your download PC. That way if you do get bitten you can just blow it away and rebuild it w/ out having to worry about all of your Documents and Financial software being hosed.

Just a suggestion but Better safe than sorry
