You will always have more people buying stuff than pirating it.
A lot of Piraters are people that hate to pay retail, like to be clever, or just hate the establishment in general.
And movies are less likely to be pirated enmasse than music.
How much is your time worth? Are you going to look up a movie source online, download it and then burn it? When you can go to hollywood video and buy 3 DVD's for $25.00?
Too much effort most of the time.

Either the MPAA will have to spend millions to develop increasingly stronger proprietary encryption for DVDs, or they can 'lose millions' in potential sales. You pick, and at the same time I'll continue to not really be concerned about commercial movie profits. That is one industry that is NOT hurting for funds.

I think those at the top of the film industry, top actors, directors, etc. are obviously making a lot of money but there are a lot of other people making a living off DVD sales that suffer from this sort of thing. [/B][/QUOTE]
