Nah. I mean, it is better quality, but for most people it won't make a difference if they watch a compressed 1080p torrent or HD on Netflix. Most notably quality difference is the subtitles. And while it's nice that you don't need to go look for subtitles and all, that's a minor thing. The real answer is, of course, that it's legal. If you care about supporting the filmmakers and such. :p And it's a great platform. Remembering where you paused a movie, playing the next episode of a series automatically etc. It's just really convenient and dirt-cheap.

I think you're right when saying that generating buzz through torrenting could actually result in better ticket sales. I just don't think it applies for many movies. The Revenant, as you mention, is not a good example, in my opinion. It already generated a lot buzz based on the trailer and the fact that it stars DiCaprio and Hardy and is directed by an Oscar-winning director. Furthermore, it's getting released just now because it will get a lot of Oscar nominations next week. There'd be more than enough buzz around the movie without the piracy. I think it's much more likely that a huge number of people won't go see it in the cinema because they already downloaded the leaked screener.

Maybe, but you catch my drift.
