And if they really cared about the audience and all the artists involved, they would respect the audience and not be so arrogant.
1. Stealing is stealing no matter how bad you consider your victim. Please rethink. This is illegal. It is also against every religion I know. 
2. Besides a producer, there are multiple people involved in a film. I'm a writer. I'm not JK Rowling or Stephen King or Chetan Bhagat. But my books got pirated. Lemme tell you how angry and helpless that made me feel. My work of 1 or 2 years, the work of my beta readers, my editor, my cover artist was stolen. 
Do you not think that I will hesitate before going to that extent to make sure my work has quality? Don't you think I'll cut corners the next time? Down the line, the beta readers, the editor, and the cover artist will fail to make money.
I'm not even close to making a living off my writing. But people feel free to steal what I worked hard on for months. And you're justifying this sort of behavior on the basis of somebody's arrogance. 
Once again, please rethink. 🙏
