It'd be interesting to see what percentage of use cases were for "legal purposes"

I doubt it would be more than zero.

Well, I watched 300 on it, and I owned a copy of 300 it just so happens to be HD-DVD...and at home.

Did your HD-DVD copy came with signed rights to distribute the movie to third parties?

If not, then you were illegally distributing the film while you were watching it using PopcornTime.

owning it in DVD doesn't mean you can download it through torrents. I know this is stupid though...
