If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.

Yeah, piracy is illegal and it's, in practice, stealing IRL but digital piracy ain't stealing for sure. You're not subtracting anything...

They can and do claim that they lost revenue but they can never claim you stole the movie - they still have it, you just didn't pay them for an extra copy. Rip a friend's DVD, same thing.

Now if you were to hack them and steal all the movie raw material... but then again, Hollywood just spews out garbage nowadays,

Anyway not a lawyer, don't care, stay safe.
