I justify downloading movies from file-sharing networks with: a) In cinema there are 30 minutes of advertisements before the movie starts b) In cinema I cannot take my food and drinks with me c) In cinema I sometimes cannot even take my backpack with me d) DVD/Bluray treat me like a pirate. Unskippable insults and advertisements. Hard to get on my harddisk in a reasonable setup. It is easier, faster and more convenient to download a third-party copy. e) Last but not least, I do not really care about the industry itself. No loss to the world if hollywood or the music industry would die. People make art if they feel the need, there is no money incentive for true art. I do like to "reward" art creators though, if I really appreciate what they did. I bought 4 DVDs in my life. 2 I could not play them out of the box on my Linux OS. The other two were Jason Scott's documentaries. I bought a lot of used CDs from ebay. Stopped even doing that when the media industry lobbyism shut down my favourite torrent site (the owner was cleared of all charges years later). Now I download free music. And sometimes, very rarely I download a commercial album. I would not buy it, no harm done.
