I just refuse to pay outrageous prices anymore to movie theaters. It cost me $25.00 to go see a movie and that is no including bringing another with me, to sit in a dirty, sticky theater with noisy people/kids gets very annoying, Ushers constantly walking around flashing lights. I can go on and on about a list of things that cause people to watch movies on the internet other than going to the theater. Who's the real blame? There have been many studies with musicians putting their music on the internet for FREE and if you like it donate money, you would be surprised the results... Think about it. I personally think all this controversy is about greedy film makers and actors wanting and wanting more. In my opinion they are way over paid anyway but that is besides the point. Simple solution to solve most of all these problems, make it to where you can actually pay to view the movie from your house instead of the theaters. You might get a shocking result.

The reason are legion. The crowd noise, the commercials, the outrageous prices for a handful of popcorn and sweetened water, the tiny screens, the overly bright house lights during the movie, the out of focused images, etc. Going to movies in a theater is more a punishment than entertainment. And yes, I've walked out of a couple of movies already and demanded my money back for the atrocious theater conditions. I haven’t gone to too many movies these last couple of years.

I understand the intent people have for downloading movies, such as Spiderman, but seriously, why not go see the movie on the big screen. I had no idea sites actually promoted pirated content.

My intent was to illustrate the <b>potential</b> size of the issue. Sites such as these are growing in popularity and numbers. At some point it's reasonable to assume that they're going to have an impact on the bottom line. But your points are valid, too -- we don't yet know that visiting these sites makes one less likely to spend. “Potentially” is indeed the ket word, Ken.

It's good to see all this data. Second, a bit of devil's advocate: <em>Each of those visitors potentially represents a movie ticket not sold, a pay-per-view not purchased, or a NetFlix delivery not made.</em> <strong>Potentially</strong> being the key word there, since there is no causal proof of downloaders not paying to go see, or wait and buy or rent, the movie. There might be a certain percentage that will end up not spending the money - and has anyone speculated on this percentage? And what of people who download, talk about the movie and cause the result that someone else pays to see it...hmm. Is all exposure good exposure? First, great post. It’s good to see all this data.
