You're probably being sarcastic but that's actually how the law works. You'll note that when people get sued for "pirating" movies, it's almost always because they were caught seeding a torrent, not for the act of watching an illegal copy. Movie studios don't go after visitors of illegal streaming sites, for instance.
Note that what copyright law prohibits is the action of producing a copy for someone else, not the action of obtaining a copy for yourself.
Did you pirate this movie?
No, I acquired a block of high-entropy random numbers as a standard reference sample.
Indeed, the "copy" of the movie in your brain is not illegal. It would be rather troublesome and dystopian if it were.
The movie played on my screen but I may or may not have seen the results of the pixels flashing. As such, we can only state with certainty that the movie triggered the TV's LEDs relative to its statistical light properties.
