Downloading Copyrighted Material Via Torrent Files
An act of stealing being not harmful or not financially detrimental for the affected party does not make the act of stealing justifiable. Stealing will and has always remained a universally accepted moral evil, so whether it be a physical property or an intellectual property of someone else, stealing will be stealing and there is no justification for that. If the owner of the video or music has explicitly claimed copyrights on his content and putforth restrictions on its commercial use without permission, then using such content for commenrcial use would be stealing. But if the owner has waived his copyright on the content or has allowed its distribution with some conditions, then there is nothing wrong in using such content ( subject to those conditions, if any ).
