The courts and police have not yet leant that private IP needs to be locked, encrypted, or whatever rather than placing the entire responsibility onto an individual who merely needs to press a download button in order to somehow transgress some ass of a law? Anyway stealing involves loss to the original owner, copying does not. Just as musicians will now make their income in future from live performances, gate takings and paraphernalia, the movie industry may need to rely more on theatre takings than DVD distribution. Give us a quality 3D experience already and we'll pay for sure. Who actually does take any responsibly for the mindless crap that makes up 90% of what comes out of Hollywood?
