There are few examples of truly getting content for free. Time is far more scarce for many of us than money is. The only times I even consider stealing content is when nobody is willing to take my money for it.
Of the top of my head, I downloaded Star Trek for my dad a couple months after it came out. He was bedridden and I wanted to see it with him. I would have delightedly paid the cost of taking a family to the theater--$30 to $50--to stream it online. Naturally, that wasn't possible so I spent an hour downloading it.
It's just seldom as easy as point and click and watch. I had to download 2 or 3 crappy cam versions first.
