It's not any more complicated than that.
You can throw out a bunch of double-talk, but its stealing.

Actually, you are creating a false dilemma. If the choice between either going to the movie theater or downloading, your logic works. If the choice is between downloading or not watching, it fails.
Personally, I download movies fairly regularly.
The catch: I have an unlimited subscription to the movie theater. If I wanted to, I could see every single movie that is released there 5 times over without paying a cent more than I already do.
The funny part: if there was a paid download service with guaranteed high quality and no annoying drm, I'd use that.
The "they can go fuck themselves" part: on every blank dvd I buy for backup purposes, I have to pay an extra "tax" which is used to compensate record and movie companies for people copying their work.
