Well, you see, there is a difference. With a tangible object, you can make a determination prior to purchase whether you want the object or not.
With movies and such, if you've not had any exposure to it, it's like having a product is behind the counter and you can't look at it to see whether or not you'd like to buy it or not. Some people don't want to waste money if they get a lemon (say like buying Prometheus), but there is no current way for them to fully make available all the inventory that they wish to sell.
If they remedied that, then the shoplifting as you put it would decrease as most people do not like doing things that are not above board.
I certainly would not have downloaded in the past if there was something legal and easily available.
