Considering there's no way to watch it legally, I see nothing unethical about finding it through other sources. That's how I watched it back in 2008.

I remember watching the Star Wars Holiday Special. I remember where I was when I saw it, the one and only time it was broadcast. I saw it at a friend of my mother's.
According to the IMDB, and pretty much everybody the worst movie of all time came out just a couple of months ago.
Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas
1. Saving Christmas (2014) 1.5 http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom?ref_=cht_ql_3
--- Quote ---You did it, Internet: Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas, starring Kirk Cameron as smug prick "Kirk," is now the single worst-rated movie on IMDB. This hour-and-change-long Facebook rant from your second-cousin Sam the seminary drop-out now ranks lower than Superbabies: Babies Geniuses 2, The Hottie and the Nottie, and From Justin to Kelly.
That's via the Raw Story, which notes that a film must receive at least 1,500 votes to qualify for the list. So it's not just five disgruntled AMC ticket-takers and the ghost of Increase Mather down-voting this claptrap over and over and over and over again. Meanwhile, over at Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has an astounding 0% freshness rating. But you don't have to take my word for it!

--- Quote ---Former child star makes a Sunday school movie that attempts to reclaim Christmas’ pagan and secular roots, but did it have to be so crushingly dull?
There’s at least one big surprise in “Saving Christmas.” I had assumed it would be a 90-minute jeremiad aimed at atheists, Jews, Muslims, and other people who don’t celebrate Christmas exactly the way Kirk Cameron does. Instead, it’s an 80-minute jeremiad aimed at other Christians who don’t celebrate Christmas exactly the way Kirk Cameron does.
It’s not a movie so much as it’s an extended Sunday school sermonette, with Cameron teaching his born-again brother-in-law not to dislike Christmas trees, Santa Claus and gifts, because — as “Saving Christmas” is about to expend a great deal of effort to prove — all of those things celebrate the birth and life of Jesus. (Did I mention that this straw man, who can’t win an argument to save his life, is named Christian?)

--- Quote ---...when I heard that Kirk Cameron’s new movie was called “Saving Christmas (link is external),” I had to see what he was up to. And since it’s only in theaters for two weeks, I figured I better go see it opening weekend, so I could write a review before its last showing in theaters the following weekend.
When I first heard of it, I suspected that the movie’s point was going to be something similar to Christmas with a Capital C (link is external), a seemingly Sarah-Palin-inspired film (set in Alaska) from a couple years ago starring a non-famous Baldwin brother. But although the trailer mentions some typical Christian concerns regarding Christmas (“happy holidays” and all that), I couldn’t make sense of what it was supposed to be about—besides the vague tag line “put Christ back in Christmas,”. I kind of had a hint…but “surely he doesn’t mean that,” I kept telling myself. So, despite the fact that the nearest theater to show it was an hour-and-a-half away, I had to go see Saving Christmas for myself.
And, I’m here to tell you that, indeed, he did mean that. And he really does. And Saving Christmas is worse than you possibly could have imagined.

I remember when Ben & Arthur was #1, now it's improved greatly (#59). I've seen bits on YouTube, it is awful.

I think I've said this to you before, but ethics is only part of my issue with illegal downloading, and it's not the biggest part either.
Method of Madness:
I'm no less confused about it than before, so I guess we'll agree to disagree.
