It’s been said before …
Sharing doesn’t hurt them.
Sharing has no effect on sales.

That’s been proven, many times.
The labels and the movie moguls know that sharing
doesn’t hurt them.

The sharing crap is an excuse to impose tight regulations on ISP’s, as a route to
net control and censorship.

Boycott, don’t download, don’t buy.
If you MUST have it, get it second hand from a pawn shop or used CD
store.

But usually if they include a lot of extras. I dont want to buy a dvd just for the movie cause I can just download it. But the extras and stuff is waht sells the dvd for me. And I will only buy a new release if it is on sale usually the day of release and mainly buy the special edition one. And usually only if it is an action type movie that looks good on a big screen and surround sound. The last 3 purchases I made where Transformers, P3 at words end, and Juno. Although Juno isnt a action movie it came with a script and I personally thought it was the best movie last year. I like the bargin bins at several stores. I have only bought a couple at grocery stores. Usually older titles and they are an impulse buy because I can easily download the movie for free. I tend to buy movies if they are around 5-10 bucks.

Cheaper than CDs, actually. New releases are still expensive, but I have bought more new DVDs in the last year than the previous 4 or 5, just because many of them cost as much as they do to rent.
