It is illegal and immoral. It steals the rightful intellectual property of directors and developers who are only trying to make a living. If you want to be a thief so badly, then rob a federal bank.

    If I steal your purse, you don’t have a purse anymore. That’s theft.

    If I ride the subway without paying, I’m possibly taking away the seat from someone that paid. Not theft but close to it.

    If I pirate a movie I would never have paid for anyway, I’m not taking away anything from anyone and I am not even causing lost income for the producer (cause I never would have bought it). Literally no one is worse off due to my actions, the only difference is that I’ve watched a movie.
