Regarding "Blade Runner" as the specific example, I was interested in the HD version of it. I got a HD-TV recently, so I started with HDTV-trailers and it really got me fixed for the high resolution. There aren't any HDTV-stations available here in Germany (with the exception of one station broadcasting a handful of movies a year in HD parallely to their SD content). So I looked around the web, and of course there are sources to get HD-content from. So I did. I don't call it piracy, since it's stuff I already own on DVD. And since I am a bonus-material-addict, an HDTV-capture simply wouldn't be a replacement for a retail DVD for me.

And I guess that "This forum is for material not available to the general public because it has never been released or it's no longer available for sale." does apply to HDTV-captures EXCEPT for the few WMV-HD-releases out there.
