I bought what started out as a duly authorized and sold copy of the movie. It was intended to be watched on my home screen. I format shifted so that I could watch it on my home screen. My format shifting in this case was not direct because of a failure of my recording equipment, but the end result was exactly the same and there was no collateral damage along the way.
Weren't you the one who was saying it was wrong for me to pirate the ebook because I already owned the papercopy? I'd be surprised to see how this situation is any different.

(PS. Sorry if it wasn't you. I just don't want to navigate through 6 pages.)
