When you ask how she got it, she shrugs and says, “I downloaded it.”

Show her Tubi , Pluto TV , or Freevee . These are completely legal, free, and have massive libraries of "popular media." Yes, there are commercials, but there is zero risk of a lawsuit.

While downloading a file isn't usually what gets people in trouble, uploading (seeding) is. The moment your daughter downloads a movie, her computer is automatically sending pieces of that movie to strangers around the world. This is distribution. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) monitor popular swarms (like Oppenheimer or Taylor Swift’s new album ). When they see her IP address uploading, they send to your email.
