Is viewing or consuming copyrighted media illegal.

Viewing copyrighted material is not an act of infringement.  Consuming copyrighted media might include adapting a copyrighted work is and infringement.  For example, creating a variation or translation of the work is an infringement. Also, playing  a motion picture or a  recorded song, other than in your home, is an infringment.  A person cannot be prosecuted if he doesn't copy, save or dowload the copyrighted material unless he commits one of these other acts I just mentioned. Let me know if you have any more questions. Paul Van Slyke paul@hooverslovacek.com
