Good points, it is reasonable to feel justified , I have to agree the film industry has ripped us all off in many ways, 7 mins of commercials etc. On the other hand I don't know what LA or New York is like but in a city like Toronto, one out of two convenience stores sell pirated video openly. It is about more than being justified, its plain social responsibility not to steal, or cheat in anything. You are making criminals rich, that is probably not good.
