I mean, I grew up pirating music and movies. I haven't for years now, because the vast majority of what I listen to is free mixtapes and CC movies. But I used to download discographies -- an artist's entire catalog. Or I would go and download every movie availiable from an artists IMDB page.
Art is a service. You might view an individual movie as a "Good" but I view a director's filmography as a living, breathing thing. If you want a technical term, you can consider an oeuvre a form of Marshall McLuhans's cool media.
In addition, if I'm paying for media, I want the rights to remix, reuse, and sell derivative work. Period. No DRM, no license restrictions. Just freedom.
