When you buy a DVD, you're not just buying the material of the disk, you're buying
the right to watch the film.
So if you download a film like that 'illegally' then although you're not physically stealing anything, you are taking something (the right to watch it) without paying for it.
Of course whether or not that bothers anyone is a different subject.
