It is because when a movie is made, lots of people go to work for a very long time and spend a lot of money on it. Millions of dollars go into movies and it has to be paid of somehow, not to mention the pay checks of all the actors and crew need to be paid off. This means that they need profit so they do not lose a lot of money and they get it through DVD and cinema sales. When you watch a movie for free you aren’t paying the people who made it and you are ripping them off.
