53. False assumption

No, I honestly don't see it as theft. Most of the stuff I watch and delete. I don't sell or distribute anything I download. Personally I would rather watch it on Hulu or one of the network's websites, but I am outside the US therefore everything is blocked. It would be nice if the entertainment industry would find a better way, but then again it's all about the almighty dollar.
