What is the impact of pirating?

Question

Hypothetically, if I were to download a "dvd quality" version of "The Dark Knight," would there be some kind of impact financially or otherwise on the actors involved or the director. On the other hand, if I were to download an older movie such as, "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly," would there be an impact on Clint Eastwood for example.

Answer 1

its stealing because you are getting and enjoying a movie free when if you buy the dvd, people get paid.
