15. It's just the law, that's all.

You're using an "ends justify the means" argument to rationalize why it's okay for you to break the law. I understand your argument, but it's really not any more valid than telling a cop you were driving 85 because if you didn't get to the theater on time, you might have missed the movie and then not been able to talk about it to your friends. Nor is it Moore's place to say it's okay to break the law just because he doesn't mind in this case. If he doesn't mind, he should put it on his own web site and offer it for free. Isn't the distributor and the movie house getting ripped off, too? It's not just Moore.
