They should just go ahead and release the movie for all of us to watch it, I doubt that the hackers address going to get the minutes that they are asking for, next time they should hack banks to get money rather.

Yes, but you're keeping the money you should be giving them in exchange for getting a copy of the movie (the same money they expected to get in return for all the money they spent making the movie). Your effectively stealing the money from them that you should have paid in exchange for the movie that you copied illegally.

That is true that they dont profit from you. But you still neither steal money nor their movie.
Since you got the product without paying for it it's stealing. It's no different than going to the store and taking items without paying for them. It costs the movie makers money to produce the movie, just as it costs the store money to buy the products. Taking either without paying for it is stealing whether it's digital or physical.

Well, it will available on torrent sooner.
Nothing to worry.
And before many films were published for review by the public in such a way that the authors were unable to change anything. It seems to me that harm from this minimum and of course if you translate this nonsense into money it would have turned out an impressive amount but as they say it's all about speed does not affect.

Releasing the movie early is going to hurt the earnings of the movie because people will not be that psyched to see it after watching it. But it will only harm their profits by a small margin.
This is true, there would be a lot of people who already saw it, it depends if they are real super fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, then they are going to watch it lots of times, maybe in 4D or Imax, something like that.

I am going to watch the movie in IMAX... I have already booked the tickets for tomorrow. But once the Blu-Ray print is available from the torrent, I am going to download that too.
That's good for you, so you are a big fan of the Pirates movies? I hope you enjoy it, I'm planning to watch it too but I don't know if I would watch it alone or with some of my friends. There are a lot of people probably who watched it already.

Watched it yesterday in IMAX. I am a big fan of the series, and the latest one was very exciting as well. For me, the DVD leak is of no concern. I wanted to watch the movie in a theater and so I ignored the torrents.

You are coyping it (illegaly).
You steal a car,  fiat money, diamonds - all physical things.
But you do not steal digital things you can only copy it.

Hollywood and the movie distribution business is on the decline, and that's not going to stop. The reason isn't theft and piracy, although sure they'd like to grab all of your money they can.

The reason is that with large 4k screens and streaming in their homes fewer and fewer people are going to bother going out to movies.

It is not stealing, it is piracy, stealing is to take something out of someone and by that act to deny ownership to the rightful owner, downloading a movie is piracy because you are only creating a copy of the material, both acts are wrong but they are not the same.
You're getting a product without paying for it. The movie maker spend a ton of money producing the movies and need people to buy them; and every time you torrent a movie you take the product without paying for it, essentially "stealing" it.  If that's not stealing than what is?

I could use a good movie to watch let them release it  Cheesy

If it's a good movie you're hoping to see, look somewhere else Cheesy I got convinced to go to the theater to watch this and now I have that feeling of getting scammed. In fact I'd much rather if someone just stole 12 bucks from my pocket than having to suffer through this two hour nightmare. Javier Bardem's CGI face gave me all sorts of terminal diseases.

We do not help to steal. Yes, we do watch movies for free, but agree needs to be a complete idiot to be able to watch the movie for free and unsubscribe. I do not know these people are not downloading the torrent files. Many simply do not want to admit it.
Yes you do are, you are take something without paying for it. That's no less stealing than taking things off Walmart shelves without paying for it.

The vast majority of the torrent downloads occur after the movie is removed from the theaters. And most of the leechers can't afford the Blu-Ray and DVD discs of the movie. So even if the torrent downloads are prevented, it is not going to help the producers.
I'm sure that at least a good amount of people who pirate a movie would end up watching it legally if they didn't pirate it. It does hurt the companies. Also, being poor isn't an excuse to steal.

Posting this once again since the point seems to be ignored.

I am not at all concerned about video piracy. I often use for myself, pirated software and watching pirated movies. It helps me to save my money which do not have. Maybe the copyright owners is easier to revise the price of the license to remove it was not profitable to open access to their products.
Don't try to justify stealing with lack of money. We aren't talking about food or other necessities here, but entertainment. What would you do if I came to your house and took your computer because it would help me save some money? Also you are not concerned with it because you haven't put time and money into a product that ends up being stolen. I have used torrents, not denying it, but at least I'm not trying to make up stupid explanations.

And I am of the opinion that if they want to be treated normally and all their rights are respected, then it is necessary that every person is respected rights. How can I be honest and do not watch pirated copy movies if my country always violates my personal civil rights. How do they treat me like that and I treat everyone. Moreover, these big companies are already cashing in on people.
