IMHO to get a good and full movie experience go and see it.. And when it's released on DVD buy it.. Never trust crapy DivX or VCD copy's if you really want to have entertainment :).

As Valhallen pointed out, it's illegal to obtain a pirated copy of it at all. There is no law that states you're allowed to have it for twenty-four hours, that's just a myth that lets people justify what they're doing.
Technically speaking, with something like software, you could have more than one installed copy, as long as only one copy of the program was in use at any given point in time.
At any rate, pirating or obtaining a pirate copy of Star Wars is not a good idea. Just fork over the bucks and go see it at the movie theatre. It'll help Lucas pay for the next installment, and hopefully that'll pay for VII, VIII, and IX. :)
