Can you burn a movie from Steam to dvd?

[Apocolyptica]

When you buy a movie from Steam is it a digital download that can be burned to a DVD or is it digitally streamed to your PC?

Thanks..

[XBL Laberbacke]

No, you can not.

Of course you can NOT burn the movies to a DVD. Do you understand the copyright laws?

Unless specified on the product page, movies on Steam are available to stream and not download.

Even when they are available for download, no. They are copyrighted material. They give you a warning every time you play the movie. That warning is not there for you to ignore.

That would fund terrorism

You shouldn't use terms you don't know. Especially not this term.

In certain countries it is legal to make a physical back-up copy as long as you do not circumvent "effective" copyright measures. (Gotta love the official wording in uber-correct German ;) ).
And given that the movie industry is a decade behind with their ♥♥♥♥♥♥-up licensing compared to music, it's reasonable to want that. Read: if Steam loses the license to Stream your purchased movie, it's gone.

So what is that, "Extra-hoch-deutsch"?

Commonly known as "Legalese".

Wirksame technische Maßnahmen zum Schutz eines nach [UrhG] geschützten Werkes

The German law is quite convoluted there with exceptions for exceptions and special cases Except in special circumstances.

But the gist is: you are allowed to copy copyrighted material for private, non-commercial use as long as your source is legal and there is no declared copyright protection on it.

Fun fact:
There is a dialect called "Höchstalemannisch", spoken in some parts of Switzerland (Walden, Uri, Schwyz)

Good thing I'm in St. Gallen currently, then...

Nope. This is a EULA, law trumps that.
As said, it's quite complicated in Germany.

DISCLAIMER:
This is German law only. If you're not a German citizen, find your own loopholes.

This movie for example:
http://reliancehvg.co.in/store/images/D/1920-Evil-Returns---Bluray-Inlay2.jpg
has an indication of copyright protection on its cover, which satisfies the law. (the right-most icon next to the display ratio)

This
http://www.platinumcultedition.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Wolfenstein-Blu-Ray-Inlay-mit-FSK.jpg
on the other hand has not and the copyright protection (if any) is only implicit because BluRay usually comes with AACS. But the consumer cannot know and its therefore legal to make a private copy of it.

Streams do not have this copyright protection. And even if they had, they are by their very nature subject to the analog loophole ... as long as the EU doesn't outlaw memory caching again.

Yes I understand they are copyrighted. I also understand I am purchasing a license to use it. Music from Itunes is copyrighted as well, it doesn't stop me from burning them to a dvd\cd.

Practically it is possible, but who does still uses DVD's in 2017?

Well if you go to Best Buy, there a lot more movies in DVD than there are in other formats. So I would assume quite a few still buy DVD's.
