While I admit to downloading music, I refuse to dl or stream first run cinema before I have seen it in the theatre, good bad or otherwise. However, I do use streaming sites for any subsequent views of a movie until the blu-ray comes out. Paying $10 once is enough, I'm not paying it again and again. I just feel that watching first runs anywhere other than a theatre or blu-ray takes away from the experience of seeing the film for the first time. The quality of streams and torrents for new movies is often questionable, and I don't have a 30' x 40' screen sitting at my house.
Having said all of that, the increasing number of assholes that attend movies now makes me yearn for the day when first runs will stream to the home, and theatres will be a thing of the past.
