That is indeed the most direct analogy from a logistical perspective, but I suspect the actual media analogy in terms of effect is just to put out "safer" content (e.g. Yet Another Blockbuster 3: Bust Blocks Harder), which also offers pirates less incentive to go through the trouble to copy it since it isn't very interesting — except when you're walking by a Redbox thinking "What should I do tonight?"
