answer:Yes, you would. There were a bunch of cases back in the days of when VHS was turning into DVD technologies; people would play back the VHS and capture it to the computer and then burn it to a DVD for safekeeping (and because WHS machines were breaking and couldn’t be replaced). People owned the VHS copy of the movie and wanted to make a digital copy for their own use. That was found to be illegal. Now, in my example, you could do it and no one would find out unless you told them. On a pirate site, everything you download is logged somewhere. So it’s a red flag for the copyright owner that you’re downloading their copyrighted material. What you own or don’t own at home is not relevant. One could argue the logic of your stance, but so far the content owners don’t seem to care.
