You might not mind paying $10 for a good movie, but unfortunately most movies are complete shit. That's theft, ripping people off with an overpriced, substandard product.
Its not theft because you don't need to watch the movie. You are not being forced to pay for it. There is no gun to your head. A movie is not a human right or some requirement to live. Its just entertainment.

A lot of things are overpriced. The solution is not to steal them. The solution is to not buy them.

It's totally unreal that people think they have some basic entitlement to entertainment and if its not made available on terms they personally find agreeable - then they are ok to steal it.
