Assalumu allaykum.

Recently I realised how much movies I watch online - for free - which I know by law it is not correct and I am trying to stop myself. It is quite hard since it's so tempting I was just wondering what does islam think about this? Is it correct to watch movies online for free?

In addition to this, is it ok to buy pirated discs? I read somewhere that according to muslim scholars if you pay for the pirated disc, it is not haraam.
