No, I'm not the reason they do it. The movie industry brought in something like $9 billion last year, that's the second highest in history. They aren't losing money, and whoever believes they are is grossly misinformed.
They do it because you're simply a "consumer" to them. Not only can they get away with jacking up ticket prices for crappy movies you've seen again (just look at how many are remakes), but they can ALSO profit from all the ads they show you prior to the movies starting.
If it's okay for them to do that, then it's okay for me to do what I do. Not legally, of course, but from what I believe in. I see it from an "eye for an eye" perspective. Obviously the "consumer" isn't winning this battle seeing as how new legislation is being passed to make it illegal for you to fast forward through commercials, so I'm not too concerned about the moral aspect to it all.
These companies are far more immoral than I'll ever be.
