If someone shares a movie and likes it, it's only good PR, word of mouth that the movie was good. I know a lot of people that share to "preview" the movie before possibly buying the DVD for their collection. It eliminates paying for a crappy movie that is falsly represented in advertisements as "two thumbs up". There is no "warranty" issued for movies that are falsly repesented as "good". Personally, I have around 190 DVD's in my collection, most of them purchased used a month or so after they are released so the price has come way down. You would not purchase a car before you drove it, even thought there are "lemon Laws" in most states. Well there is no protection of consumers money by the Entertainment Cartel. The story hits the hammer on the head though about "piracy". Reproducing for profit is just plain wrong. I was in Chinatown(NYC) a few years ago, and one store was selling movies for $5 each with photocopies of the jackets. they were not even attempting to hide this as there was aoround 60 VCR's recording and one playing RIGHT ON THEIR SIDE WALL!!! Nothing was done to stop this. That is a HUGE difference from sharing to preview a movie. I agree. If someone shares a movie and likes it, it’s only good PR, word of mouth that the movie was good.
