But the amount of piracy will drop dramtically. Just because wal-mart can't STOP shoplifting doesn't means they don't try to reduce it?

as you said some people don't like going to the theaters. If that person want to see it bad enough and his only other option is getting from a torrent site he'll do it. Its not that he doesn't want to pay he just wants his movie NOW. If he has the option of getting the movies NOW then he's much less likely to pirate. I've fucked around with these torrents enough to know they are a pain in the fucking ass and slow as hell. Why someone would CHOOSE to have that as their PREFERED way of getting content is beyond me. Of course they'll ALWAYS be the freeloaders that wants everything for free.
