This is literally why a lot of people pirate content, yes. It’s pretty much always the only way to obtain the content, even if you are otherwise fine with paying for it.

Yes, and it's technically copyright infringement, even for private use. It's just that damages and enforcement is in feasible.

But if you tried to open a black market selling that media: you'd be hunted down to the ends of the earth. Or to China/North Korea, at least.

Why would you ever do that? Nobody would buy it. They'd just get it in the same place you did.

You’d be surprised, almost any flea market/swap meet will still have bootleg DVDs and “PlayStation 2s” preloaded with a billion games.

Everyone can out a disk in a DVD player; sailing the high seas is much trickier.

Undercut the competition, mainly. People will do a lot of things for a decent discount.
