actors and producers are way over paid, maybe if they didn;t command such large salaries i wouldn't mind. but im not going to fork over any money for some piece of shit film. and if it is that good, maybe I'll get the dvd.

Well, first off in all of my life I have only known one person who could stand in a book store and read a whole book while standing there. Most people read a few pages to check it out and see if they want to buy it. Magazines can be different because you can read a whole magazine there in the store. I guess, in a way, it is stealing because you are getting the content for free.
With the newspaper left on a train or even in a waiting room or whatever, well, someone has already bought it and left it so it's not stealing.
Actors and producers may be overpaid, but they are because they can be. If you could command $15 million a year for whatever your job was would you just choose to take $2 million just to be nice? As I said, nobody is forcing you to pay the price of a movie ticket. You guy rent a movie or buy a movie on pay per view for a few bucks or you can wait until it is on TV and watch it for free.
