Actually, he would have the right to download it, depending on what is being downloaded. It would be kinda like theft, if it was a new release, drm, blue ray hd burn, from a subscription service like hbo, and some other times. Outside of that, they all hate that it's legal, they lost that fight in the courts already.

The illegal part of this is why adult content owners can sue pirates, if a number of things happen. However, if anyone in our industry sued an ex-member that downloaded a movie they could have downloaded as a member, that Company will lose that fight very quickly.
