Will free movie downloading land you in jail

Sometimes erasing your search history can also land you behind bars. This happened in United States, when a person namely David Kernell was arrested for deleting information on his computer. A University of Tennessee student, Kernell was being investigated by federal authorities for allegedly hacking Yahoo Account of the then vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.

India to had brought about laws making it mandatory for users to save their browsing history for 3 months. But the same was scrapped after there was huge public outcry against it. They were interrogated for about five hours by the authorities. In Russia, a youth was jailed in Russia for 15 days and two women were jailed for 10 days after they were found to be allegedly dancing and making a video near a second world war memorial.

File sharing is a contentious issue. In some countries you are free to share movies, images or files without the worry of the law but in many countries it is illegal to share what is considered as pirated content. In some places even downloading torrents is considered as being unlawful. Not only can you find child pornography for sale, but you can also hire an assassin. Obviously, hiring an assassin to kill someone is illegal.

This is precisely why you must express caution when performing such searches. Stay away from the dark web so that your innocent search for a crime novel or video game will keep you off a watchlist. Best not to search anything related to the items listed above at all, in the end.

But to be on safe side everyone should use VPN or Proxy just in case. All my friends believe that torrent download is legal in India.

God forbid that the government of India starts to take a strict action.. Everyone will be in big trouble. I believe the new platforms like Amazon Prime and Netflix and Hotstar have made it quite cheap to access all movies. At least the popular ones.. Agreed that the wait time sometimes is more like a month or two, but truth be told, there is so much watch-worthy content on these sites, that you can while your time waiting to watch the newest flick.

Just my two cents, I guess. As of now, no one has been arrested or there have been no official records at least but that doesn't mean a person will not be arrested always. We don't when the govt may take strict action on the users.

The public has been asked not to use torrent for many reasons like they may try to get your details and etc. Isn't it the reason we see torrent frequently changes it's URL and is now asking the users to have a VPN and accesses its site and not to type their URL in google instead just bookmark that site.

May be no, I have never heard someone being arrested for downloading from torrent in India. I had been using torrent but never received any legal warrant or warming of being arrested. But now after reading your question I fear what if get such a warning or what if I arrested, I need to think over this now on.

I recall, many times I use to get downloading warnings but never read if as "Ok" on the warning was better to clicked it on. Two months before I tried downloading from torrent but sites down in our domain now. Recently, I have not checked it yet. I don't think anyone got arrested yet though it is illegal to download from torrent sites as it is banned in India to stop piracy, the funniest thing is the government thinks it is blocked and no one has access to it but fortunately all have vpn's in their computer these day.

I suggest to use vpn if you're using torrent sites to keep yourself anonymous. As of now there are no records of arresting people for downloading content from torrent. Yes, I do agree that the activity is illegal but when there are no consequences or legal actions taken against it people continue doing it.

In my view usage of torrent and downloading movies, TV shows and encouraging piracy mainly effects the makers especially entertainment related. With lots of efforts and huge investment they make a movie or a show but unfortunately we find the pirated video or a movie immediately a day after release which ultimately results in the loss for the makers.

Using VPN that makes you an anonymous user, downloading and watching is easy these days and I think this is the main reason why most of the film makers are incurring losses.

In order to stop such illegal activities government should take up action against the site builders first. When there is no illegal site people will not use it, so instead of imposing laws and acts on people it would be better if they try to stop the site creators. Also one alternative is to cost some amount from one who want to download a video or a movie and sharing this amount among the movie makers and site creators will be good.
