I don't blame them. It doesn't get any more illegitimate than filming someone's movie from a projector booth and then selling it for a profit. That's PROFITING from the outright theft (you didn't pay for it at all as a theatre employee) of someone else's property, not just giving it away like on Bittorrent.
If you've never bought a DVD off the street with an official looking case, try it some time. It'll be a camcorder version filmed from the projector booth. You'll hear the film in the projector, and someone will probably say "eh." sometime during the film.
