How is that anywhere close to stealing? The only person who loses anything in this situation is the person that chose not to pirate the content that was not available to them.
I'm tired of arguing over semantics with people. Call it copyright infringement then. Either way, it is generally illegal.
Just pay the $3 to rent the movie.
The original comment is about content not available to "rent". How are you supposed to pay the $3 then? Doing that through a VPN would also violate the ToS (or: be generally illegal).
