It's just not stealing, you guys can whine all you want and twist the meaning of stealing to a fifth graders understanding but it doesn't change the fact that it is not stealing. Is it wrong or right? That's another debate that is worth having,but weather or not it's "stealing" has an obvious answer which is no. There is no debate

What's ridiculous about it? Morals are subjective.
If I copy a movie that came out 80 years ago and everyone involved with it is now dead, who am I supposedly 'stealing' from or depriving of anything? Some faceless corporation who claims ownership over someone else's work? How about cases where a movie or show isn't available to buy in your area? Who's getting deprived of anything there?
You can keep your morals to yourself where they belong.
