I've bought a few out-of-region DVDs--mostly Japanese movies that don't make it out west. The creators are fully compensated.
If I track down a torrent of the same movie, the creators are not compensated.
I don't care about the ethics or morality of anybody but myself and my direct relations--live and let die--but I'm not going to let a blatant rationalization pass as a law of nature. Breathing is necessary; piracy is optional and willful. Going without one will kill you, doing without the other doesn't.
