A more interesting comparison would be how many DVDs of top grossing movies of the year are sold in the last 10 years as most people I know have downloads to not damage physical media I'm curious as to if it affects re-playable media...

This *could* be widely distributed nation-wide news information if we the community who pay attention tell the rest of the populace. Stuff the MPAA and traditional media outlets... Ultimately it rests on our shoulders. Fight the System! Whoa whoa whoa.

I would no doubt buy it as i have done with so many other poplar movies and games the only reason I've got them on the shelve is because i take pride in owning them....such as half life call of duty 300 how high James bond etc you name it!... as a marketer myself I give stuff that I've worked hard on! away for free! and in return people like me and i get friends who trust me for doing this...when i offer them something they always ask me how much i want for it without hesitation... and they actually know it's something good and worthwhile buying now a days no films are worth any money because it doesn't matter how good they are so long as people are forced into buying something they haven't seen yet... ever came out of a cinema and felt totally ripped off? I did when i went to see the latest Indiana Jones do they honestly think… that if somebody uploads a movie and then someone else downloads it at half the quality (in most cases) and nether one of these people are seeing a profit from doing that
