Of course it is and you're also not physically going somewhere to steal the content it's just ones and zeros that are landing on your storage device.

I can certainly agree with the argument that the content owners create an environment that makes piracy more likely to occur, but they are just making a judgement that current subscribers will keep paying higher fees and that some piracy will occur from those that won't pay.

But those that do pirate making out that have moral justification for doing so is bullshit.
