If this is OK, downloading a movie to watch it, not to make any profit, is OK, right? If it isn't, will they get fined proportionally to the people who get fined for downloading a movie?

They do want to make a profit though...

some countries this is actually legal, it's just the redistributing part that is illegal

note: I'm oversimplifying here, the countries that allow for downloading aren't actually letting you have it for free, it's under the basis that you've already purchased one form of the movie and you are downloading it so you can preserve what you have purchased already
