Right, except you don't have the right to do that.

Which means nothing. Whether people have the right to or not, they can do it with absolutely no personal repercussions, so they do. Lecturing and ranting and wishing things were different isn't going to change that.

I know, it just ticks me off when people act like they're on some fucking morally righteous journey of freedom against the evil companies, and not just finding a sleazy way to get free movies like every other broke college kid.
Has it ever occurred you to that the majority of modern Western culture hasn't been grassroots for a very long time, and instead is largely a product manufactured by an industry? Denying people access to it because of constraints like income or geographical proximity is to make them culturally illiterate, and it goes well beyond "free movies".
