Thats only one county of one state. It sounds like the taxpayers are giving the movie producers quite a bit of money. That doesn't count the many school and university library systems. I don't think some book publishers could survive without librarys. How many copies of the latest Bourne movie will libraries eventually buy/ 100k? 500k? Maybe the MPAA should just shut up about all the tax dollars their members eventually receive from the public.
