Agreed! There will always be people who will go to any length to pirate content, and there is nothing you can do about them. They are not, and never will be, your customers. But for others, it is absolutely a service issue, and I am one of those people. I pay monthly for Spotify and I spend money on Bandcamp and iTunes because it's convenient and value-priced. And it's actually easier than piracy, which is probably more important than the price..

> But for others, it is absolutely a service issue Absolutely? So if the price was $50 per movie, $100, or $1000? There has to be the balance in next equation: Affordability + ease of obtain versus feeling of guilt for pirating. If there is no feel of guilt, little can be done, example: Russians pirating everything, and they are not as poor as you might perceive. Ludicrous price? Oh to heck it will be pirated even by Americans. Ease of obtain - at least we are not arguing over this (now) obvious fact.
