Just because it isn't available right then doesn't mean it won't be latter and you are not entitled to see it just because it is playing somewhere on some screen.
If you want to use that logic then when a movie gets a limited start release and in only playing in one theater in LA and NY for a few weeks before rolling out to the rest of the nation/world you should be able to download it because it is playing in a theater, you want to see it and it isn't near you. That isn't how it works. That isn't how it should work. Again, it is my movie, I should get to to decide how it is distributed and if I decide that you don't get access to it and you want to take it I should have the ability to come after you legally for trying to take what is yours.

but your going back to rights again
liciencing and rights only exist because of the copyright act
there are two parts to that act the exclusive right that give you that control
and the fair use right you traded away (your payment) for those exclusive rights
what you want is to get the benefit without paying the cost (sort of funny since your actually trying given your theft stance)

You can spin all the bullshit in the world and site all the bullshit numbers about technology and economies and fair use, I don't care. This is how I feel. If you make a movie and want to distribute it a different way, so be it, but I shouldn't be forced into anything I don't want to do just because you the viewer has decided you are entitled to it.

stop saying forced , no one is forcing you to support a medium, fair use allows someone else to support that medium if you don't want to.
fair use is the barter you pay to get the exclusive rights.
lots of people would like to get the benefits of an agreement without paying the cost
doesn't mean they should have a right to do that.
