If you're scared of downloading online, you could borrow from your library and burn dvds like it's 2003

my libraiy has anti-piracy things on there media.

They're probably required to have that, but there's no way they would ever know; there is no "pirated" switch that is set when you rip it.

That's totally fine for them to put on, but also totally legal (and undetectable) for you to bypass.
