I bet I am older than you.. and I know that people have been copying shit way before I can remember..The shit that deserves a cash injection is the stuff that really pushes the buttons of society (be it current, political, topical or just brilliant).. the REAL DEAL is the material that people will be listening to/watching in fifty years time..
If the 'Credit Crunch' (I hate that phrase) has taught us anything, is that 'Brilliant' material will SELL.. and those that produce it will prosper (Good on them!).
Everything else is 'throw-away' and if people download it, it doesn't mean that actually give a shit about it. Chances are they will just delete it right after they realise that is was not worth buying in the first place.
The 'pirate' world should be embraced by the media producers as a critic of the dross that a lot of them churn out.
Ask any 'fan' of anything that was downloaded early. It was probably worthy of buying in the first place.
It doesn't matter if they found it three months before it became public. They'll still buy it on the launch day.
If sales are 'damaged' it is because it was probably borderline crap in the first place.
Get out of your own asses and stop paying actors $150M dollars and send some of that cash downstream to the people who actually work harder than the 'a-list' (pfft!) actors..

this just about sums up my viewsthe ridiculous overbudgetting of movies also leads to the overpricing of cinema tickets/dvds which in turn motivates another section of the downloaders.
