It's the theft of profit they don't like, they don't care if you watch it, just that you give them money for the opportunity to watch.

No, they still don't like it when I buy a copy of a video game and then pirate it as well

yup. anti-piracy is about control, not profits. this is trivial to deduce from the simple fact that no one ever measures a drm solution's performance in total sales recovered, they only ever whine about hypothetical lost ones, which is the corporate equivalent of sideways for attention, long way for effect
