I don’t think watching pirated movies is an ethical activity.
I’m not arguing right or wrong here but the industry never helped itself with the old practices of geo blocking and split release dates for different territories, and these days it’s doing the same with the increasing fragmentation of the streaming market. Customers will only be taken for fools for so long.

IIRC vhs hire was about £1.50 mid eighties and a cinema ticket was similar.
As such £5 to£10 streaming fee seems reasonable compared to a cinema ticket these days. Given the film industry and cinema model is struggling I don’t think watching pirated movies is an ethical activity.
