Going to a theatre to watch a movie has a special charm. You get to sit in front of a big screen in a comfy chair while teeny-boppers shout into their cell phones and drown out all the important dialogue. You get to shell out $10-$15 for a ticket and the same price again to get a ticket for the woman you're out to woo. You have the priviledge of waiting your turn to hand over $8 for a bag of popcorn and a small Sprite. Then, as you look up at the silver screen in excitement, ready to be entertained, some guy you've never met comes on and starts calling you a theif. "Piracy is wrong", he whines, "don't steal movies". Then, just as you begin to feel a little bad for the guy, the movie starts and you realize that all the money, time and frustration was really not worth it at all. So you go home and do your best to pirate movies.
