Re:Of COURSE it's not theft (Score 1)

Last night I went to see a movie I've been looking forward to all summer. And the cool part was, it was free! You see, the guy who takes the tickets at the theater is kind of old and it's easy to sneak by him. Geez, they're not even going to try to protect their rights! Anyway, it's not theft, because there were empty seats in the theater, so they weren't going to get any money even if I didn't go. And besides, everything Hollywood produces is crap.

It is not theft and I do not even consider it morally wrong. The local cinema used to do just that (well about 20 years ago anyway). A few minutes before the movie would start if there were a lot of free seats they would give tickets away.

It worked for them, they were nearly always full. In fact if the movies they showed were good then the people that went in for free often got friends to come to the next session and often times these friends payed for their tickets.
