Better yet, bootleg it, and keep their corporate profit in your own pocket.

Do you mean pirate it? I always used "bootleg" to mean the copies people sell or post online that are specifically camera recordings of the screen.

I have never once watched one of those versions for more than 5 minutes. It's just garbage quality and audio. I'd sooner not watch a movie.

But if you mean pirate it when it has a digital release. Absolutely! Piracy is alive and well and getting better with every ad or price increase the streaming services add.
