Regarding the OP. Pretty much everyone has watched a ripped movie. Your buddy says, "Hey, I have such and such movie on my laptop, do you want it?" And you say"Sure!" Obviously it is wrong, but I would bet that almost everyone has done it, no matter how principled.
A more apt comparison might be for those complaining about content theft, and who would then join and pay for, a torrent site or filesharing site, (thus monetizing the stolen content and feeding the stolen content industry into a huge machine).
