I don't see why someone should not be allowed to freely download a movie. I personally do go to the movies to watch something if it looks interesting. If I like it, and download it to watch again, then how is that hurting anyone? Are people to shell out money to see the same movie in a thater 5 times? If it's really good, I will even buy the DVD. So, I don't see anything wrong with watching a movie that you've already paid to see. It's not immoral, unethical and should not be a reason to imprison anyone.
It's also a good way to preview a movie you arent sure about. I know I can't ever have my money back for "Punch Drunk Love". Making people pay for crap like that... now thats unethical.
My 2 cents.
