I do think it's stealing to pirate a movie, game, or software. However, it's also good advertising technique -- some industries call it a "free sample." I do it in a way that is not stealing. I ask a friend to make me a copy of this or that tape, movie, CD, software, whatever. I watch/listen/use the software. If I don't like it, good, I haven't wasted any money; I recycle the material, no harm done. If I do like it, I'll go out and purchase the item in a legitimate way, because I'll want the directions, technical support, the lyrics and images on the CD case, and so on.
However, this ONLY works because I do go out and buy the item legitimately if I decide I like it, and destroy the item if I don't like it. If I kept the item around and used it (or let it gather dust), it would be stealing.
