A Film That Is Not Available for Sale

Question

Is it permissible to watch privately Haredi films that are no longer being shown at screenings, some time has passed since they were released, and there is no possibility of purchasing them privately, but they have been distributed on the internet and in email groups?

Answer

Hello and blessings 

Films that are no longer available for paid viewing through the producer do not require payment from someone who watches them.
