You’re only unintentionally (I think) proving my point, not yours.
Companies who make clones of things are still in business because people are paying for the clones. You’re not paying for the cloned movie you’re pirating.
Also, in your example and using your logic, someone would have to recreate the production of the content. If someone decided to remake a movie (and get actors, crew, production, marketing, etc.) and then decided to release that for free, not only would it not be stealing but it also wouldn’t be copyright infringement because it would be covered by fair use since its a recreation. Copyright infringement doesn’t apply simply to an idea of something. It applies to the manifestation of that idea.
