Folks would rather stay home obviously..................
According to the study, MPAA studios lost $6.1 billion to piracy in 2005 -- $1.3 billion came from piracy in the United States and $4.8 billion internationally, with nearly half of that loss occurring in Europe. About $2.4 billion was lost to bootlegging, $1.4 to illegal copying and $2.3 billion to Internet piracy. College students in the U.S., Korea and Hungary contribute the most to each country's individual loss.

If they made the price of a theatre ticket the same as a pirate dvd, then maybe the piracy would be cut down. Almost $11 to see a movie in NYC these days. Crazy!

Good. With the amount of mindless teenybopper shit they produce, the studios deserve to lose billions.
