Yes, you are correct. Except that you would obviously have to wait until the DVD is released. The whole point of the cam is to capture the film at the opening day or earlier.
But you wouldn't beat up a video clerk and steal some million copies of dvds. On the other hand, that camcorder version of the film could get distributed to a million people because the intent is certainly not to have it for a personal library. I don't think the punishment is too harsh for the crime.
