> It is legal to download movies in the United States.

No it isn't.

It's not a criminal offense, but if someone can sue you for it and win then it isn't "legal" under any technical or popular definition of the word.

Finding examples of people getting successfully sued for downloading or viewing movies without sharing them should be trivial, then.

Otherwise, less any examples of enforcement or successful legal action, downloading movies is illegal in the US in the same way that blasphemy is illegal in Michigan.
