A number of movies suffered from morons downloading them.
A prime example is Kick Ass 2. Ok, maybe not the best movie, but it was set up for a 3rd movie at the end.
The 3rd movie, is not going to happen... because it was leaked online and dickheads decided to download it rather than go to the cinema. The movie bombed... now there's no sequel.
Look at something like Avatar... imagine if the same had happened to that.
Or LOTR.
Star Wars 7 as well.
The movie business would shut down eventually.
All because of dickheads with the attitude of "it's only once" and "it doesn't hurt anyone if I just do this one".
I hate pirate copies. There was a guy I know offering them to people in the pub... he then came over to me, knowing I'm a movie fan... he's never bothered doing it again since after I was finished with him.
