"Please separate illegal from immoral."

It does someone no harm to do without watching Transformers 3 for a year. There's no moral high ground in lacking discipline. Therefore, it's immoral and illegal.

Get a new hobby, and some perspective.

How does purposely providing your user with a worse experience does no harm? That goes against any UX lesson or advice I've ever seen.

It does no meaningful harm. The person isn't going to go hungry.

If your biggest problem is waiting through the previews before a blu-ray movie, maybe you should read a book instead. Or take up gardening.
