Imagine now that if a working drm solution existed for films, it would be ok to download the unprotected ones for free? Surely a technical solution is way of making a business profitable, but not an argument to justify a bad behavior.
And yes, even if moral is irrelevant to businesses, it is still something worth considering as individuals.

Surely a technical solution is way of making a business profitable, but not an argument to justify a bad behavior." Apples and Oranges. If the movie studio offered an officially hosted version of the movie with advertisements for free online, and I watched without advertisements on their official site (similar to a news organization posting their news online for free, with ads), then yes it's ok. They can (and do! See: Crackle) block that particular behavior from working very simply. But, to go pirate a movie from a third source? That's not only wrong it's actually illegal. I don't go to "thenewsbay" and download illegal copies of the New York Times, so it's unfair to make a comparison to pirated movies.
