Is It a Sin to Stream Free Movies?

Question:

Is it a sin to stream movies online for free?

Answer:

If the movies are being made available online for free by a licensed distributor who is offering them legally, then no, it is not a sin to stream those movies. On the other hand, streaming movies that have been loaded onto the internet illegally is indeed a sin, because it is the theft of intellectual property from the creators of the movie, depriving them of just compensation for their work.
