“From Napster to Kazaa and back again, digital piracy is old news. But while the film industry has been affected before, notably when last year’s The Dark Knight was leaked before its official DVD release, movie studios have yet to feel the financial drain in the same way as the music industry.
In part, this is due to the cinema experience. Watching a pirate copy on a laptop or even a legitimate DVD at home is not the same as the full popcorn and big screen experience. And those happy to watch apirate copy probably never intended to go to the cinema anyway.”
