Anyway... I believe it to be "morally just", so to speak, not legal. It is a greedy practice by these film studios in paying for both viewing the movie at the cinema, and being able to repeat view at home. That's my 2 cents, and if you don't agree continue to waste your hard earned cash, when I'm downloading my movies, for free (after of course viewing at the cinema).

By all means, make the moral case. This should be amusing. You are claiming that when you buy a ticket to a movie that this gives you a moral right to watch that movie as many times as you wish. Surely there must be some basis for this position. That ticket you purchased entitled you to one viewing of the movie at a particular place and time. If buy a ticket to a play, does this entitle me to attend the play as many times as I wish without purchasing an additional ticket? That would be consistent with your position regarding movies. When I rent a car does for a day, does that entitle me to drive that car as many days as I wish without additional payment? If I buy a hamburger does that entitle me to all the hamburgers that I want?
When I buy a book or a DVD, I'm entitles to watch or read it as much as I wish. When I buy a ticket, I've only paid to watch it once. The moral principle is that you are entitled to what you paid for. I could rent a DVD for a dollar at Redbox, but that doesn't entitle me to keep a copy of it, if I wanted that, I should have paid the $20 to have my own copy.
