Filmmakers themselves talk about movies being culture as well as entertainment, and without piracy, being part of contemporary culture become (even more) a matter of your disposable income. So regardless if it is moral or not ( what is moral is not easily established in a global context ) we can ask if piracy does more good than bad for society ? Is there an even better alternative ? In the end, copyright is based on laws created by governements as trade agreements, rarely involving the voting public when it's not a dictator or monarch making the rules. In effect copyright is a matter of law, not moral, and sometimed the law is not moral. In this case, I stay my judgement as it can only cloud the real issues. Personally I think everybody who is not an adult, without a job or a home should by default be allowed free access to anything we call culture. Being part of society is - which everyone should be - is down to having a shared context. The so called entertainment is a major part of this, and without access to it you become an 'other', the outsider. Moral or not.
