No, it is illegal to watch. It's piracy, any way you cut it.
If you don't like Hollywood politics, which most of us don't, then fine, don't buy their product.
But to say that you're "better" than Hollywood, and then go out and steal their product is the height of hypocrisy. And spare me your artificial distinctions of "uploading" vs. "streaming" - the movie is getting to your computer without you paying the asking price. Theft is theft.
It’s no different than going to my nephew’s theater on his free passes. Sometimes I pay, sometimes I watch it again on the computer. In the end I buy the DVD. Sorry, not a bit of guilt about it.
And perhaps you can show me the law that says it is illegal to watch? You won’t find it.
