3) I then need to visit a site such as piratebay Which is actually BLOCKED AS ILLEGAL in my country (UK) and search for the movie. (INTENT)

4) While using the torrent to download my movie, I am also 'uploading' parts of my movie - Encouraging others to also use torrents... (No Seeders = No unloaders = No torrents)

5) THAT IS ILLEGAL!

BUT...

If I just visit a site, that displays my movie onscreen, in my browser, and click 'Play' I'm doing NOTHING WRONG...

See?

Do you have a link for me?
