It is illegal and immoral. It steals the rightful intellectual property of directors and developers who are only trying to make a living. If you want to be a thief so badly, then rob a federal bank.
No you shouldn't steal from small or independent creators. However don't try to tell me that Disney is going to go out of business because I pirated their latest movie.

The problem is the antisocial behavior and externalities.
Piracy has a negative externality on society, it lets you consume a product you didn't contribute to production whatsoever.
If it becomes commonplace then yes, Disney will go bankrupt, but will every producer, small or big or anything in between.
Rules shouldn't be arbitrary. People work at Disney too, and you'll have less artist, animator and stuff, all paid less, it the market shrinks because of piracy
