"Exfiltrating" would be a better word here.

(Also, downloading a movie is a different thing - there you're not stealing nor exfiltrating anything, you're downloading data as intended by uploader, who may or may not have the copyrights for that data.)

(INB4, ripping a DVD and uploading it is not data theft. Exfiltrating a pre-release copy from movie company's servers would be data theft.)

The ripping would be the 'exfiltration' as would recording a movie in theatre or hacking servers.

The sharing or getting something from a shared thing would merely be copyright infringement.
